Skilful, satisfying. McAllister handles her Liverpool-set twist on Russian Doll and Groundhog Day with great skill. Tightly plotted . . . Don't miss it * Observer, 'THRILLER OF THE MONTH' * Uneven pace, can feel a very slow at times. The start is exciting and then it slows down till about half way. A genuine premise, compelling characters, and an absolute masterclass in plotting -- Lucy Clarke, bestselling author of The Castaways The problem with this book is that it takes some time for the reader to get accustomed to the author's writing style and how she crafted the book. Some readers might feel irritated when they start reading it as they won't understand what is happening in the initial part. A mother's love, protectiveness and the fluidity of time. Interesting subjects and wrapped inside a unique framing. Possible? Probably not, but I know many people who wish it was so.From the very start we are presented with a ‘very-in-our-face’ scene [that we never forget and sets the stage for the rest of the novel]…. Absolutely AMAZING. The plot is astonishing--original and ingenious. But it's much more than that; the love Jen has for her son and her husband is beautiful. The stakes are so high because they're so meaningful." --Marin Keyes, internationally bestselling author

Initially I was not excited about this premise but then got into it and revelled in the new facts, and twists to the story I just didn’t see coming. Well because they were in the past!!!!

Ryan’s instant love of a few days and willingness to throw everything away for Jen was a bit too unbelievable. The way things go sometimes when you write novels is that you pour your life lessons into your work, but they very often teach you things in return, too, like they are sentient beings themselves. Some novels have taught me small lessons, some large, and Wrong Place Wrong Time the largest of all: that to have a child will be a lot like falling in love, as simple and as complex as that." It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger. As soon as I started reading I was immediately displeased with the writing style. It was not, in my opinion, gripping, never mind the excellent concept.
