Gillian McAllister is no stranger to the bestseller lists and I have no doubt that "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" is destined to be at least as successful as her previous offerings. Whereas her preceding novels have all essentially revolved around moral dilemmas, this latest book has a somewhat different slant to it and ventures into the realms of time loops.
When Jen's 18 year old son, Todd, inexplicably murders a random stranger, her world is turned upside down. But this is as nothing compared with the events that await her. On waking the next morning, Jen finds that she is actually reliving the day before! Each morning thereafter, she loops further and further back in time, searching for the answers that could save her son's future.
I have read some other early reviews that have described this as 'totally original' and 'unique', but - much as I really enjoyed and admired it - I would have to take some issue with those descriptions. Time-bending plots are nothing new in fiction. The ground has been covered many times in both literary forms and on-screen dramatisations. In the "Acknowledgements" section Gillian McAllister explains that she was influenced by having recently watched the television series "Russian Doll". And, for me, "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" evoked memories of other programmes and books at various points too: BBC's "Rellik" by the Williams brothers is one that sprang to mind as did "Life on Mars" / "Ashes to Ashes", "Quantum Leap" and Stuart Turton's 2018 novel, "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle". I am sure there are countless others as well, but, ultimately, none of that really matters. Regardless of where the inspirations and influences may have come from, the important thing is that Gillian McAllister has drawn on them to create a captivating story in its own right.
While I would not describe this as a slow-burner as such, it is the kind of novel that engages you and draws you ever deeper into its realms. "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" is a novel that has a mystery drama at its core, but infused with aspects of science fiction, psychology, suspense thriller and emotional family drama. The characters are well-drawn and the plotting is every bit as meticulous as it needs to be to make the chosen structure work effectively. The result is a compelling read that should appeal to most readers of well-written fiction, regardless of their usual preferred genre.

This is everything I love in a book:
- Tight, masterful plotting. The story is told in reverse, with layers peeled away like a Russian doll until protagonist Jen discovers why her son Todd murders someone with a knife one unassuming October evening.
- Spot-on pacing. Secrets are revealed at just the right time, so I couldn’t put the book down - I had to know what happened next (or actually the opposite of next!).
- Suspense, suspense, suspense. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat as Jen travelled further and further back in time.
- Characters you actually care about. This book just wouldn’t work if the author wasn’t so skilled at characterisation - you have to know why they are who they are, acting the way they do.
- Good twists, which just keep coming. I guessed only one - the rest were genuine ‘oh my God of course’ moments as more pieces of the puzzle slotted into place. It must have taken such planning to pull it all off; the twists are so carefully woven into the plot that the book deserves a second read to really appreciate them.
- A high-concept, genre bending thriller. Combining time travel and psychological suspense just works. What an original idea.
- Emotion. Jen’s relationships with those closest to her form the backbone of this story, and what she discovers when living them backwards is often heart rending.
- A satisfying ending. I’m so often disappointed by a book’s conclusion but this one keeps bringing it right until the very last page.
- Accomplished writing which is a pleasure to read.
This is the first Gillian McAllister book I’ve read and it’s clear that she’s a natural born storyteller with immense talent. She apparently knew that this book would change her life and I can see why. As an aspiring author myself it’s a book I wish I had the skill to write but doubt I ever would.
The one and only thing I didn’t like is the title - I don’t think it does the book justice. I can’t help thinking there is a better title hiding somewhere in the pages.
Regardless, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a triumph and it deserves all the stars.

It starts in the present day the 30th of October, the clocks are due to go back. Jen has just carved a pumpkin and is sat waiting for her son to return home. He has a curfew to be in by 1.00 am but obviously with the clocks going back it’s almost 2.00 am. As she watches from the window at the bottom of the stairs, she sees Todd, breathing a sigh of relief he is home. But then he turns someone is behind him, Jen feels something is wrong she calls her husband Kelly and rushes outside in Jen’s eyes she sees the stranger pull out a knife. The next thing someone is bleeding on the floor. It’s not Todd, Todd has the knife which he drops, Kelly is there with their son. Its not long before the police arrive. Todd arrested refusing a solicitor. Jen and Kelly go home with the plan of seeing Todd the following morning and having a solicitor. But when the next day arrives it is the day before, the crime hasn’t happened. Its like Groundhog day. Jen is the only one who has this feeling. Can she stop what she had seen the night before from happening?
As the story unfolds it gradually goes back in time as everything Jen knew of her life is changed. By the end of the book it’s before she was even married and everything she knew from the future is different, who is Kelly? But what can Jen change that would alter the future? Without affecting everything is that possible?
Wow, i have no idea how the author wrote this. Did she start with the end and work that way or with the beginning and work backwards. Whatever, or however everything falls into place so cleverly.Leaving no strands not tied in.
The characters are all believe able, relatable, every mother wants to protect their child (or the majority) and will do anything for them. This is an absolute genius of a plot.
I can’t wait to see what comes next from the author i think she has now become one of those writers i will just buy without even reading the

Wrong Place Wrong Time starts on Day Zero in October 2022 and from there, the timeline travels backwards. The plotting and the use of the timeline is ridiculously clever and McAllister has considered many aspects of time travel that never even crossed my mind. I had wondered if such a complex concept would be difficult to understand, but the author describes everything in immaculate detail and always ensures the reader has time to catch up and follow exactly what is happening. Many of the chapters end on cliffhangers that really made my jaw drop and I loved the element of surprise.
I've read most of Gillian McAllister's novels now and with every one, her writing gets better and better. She is particularly gifted at describing the emotions of her characters and the relationships between them in such a way that I was able to relate to the way they were feeling and their reactions in certain situations. This really helped as different aspects of the characters were revealed to us.
Gillian McAllister is an author I always look out for and I can't wait to see what she does next!

We meet Jen, who witnesses something so unimaginable; she can’t even begin to comprehend it. Her son has killed someone, right in front of her. Now she has to face the chaotic fallout. But after the night her son becomes a killer, something unusual happens, Jen wakes up the next morning, only it’s the day before the incident has taken place. Has she imagined the whole scenario? But each morning following, when she wakes up, she begins to realise that she is living her life backwards, each day, she is travelling further and further backwards in time. But why is this happening? How can this be happening? Is there a higher purpose here? Does she have the opportunity now to prevent her son from carrying out such an awful crime?
Jen felt very real as I was reading this book. You can feel her anguish as she realises what her son has done. As she begins to realise that she is travelling backwards in time, you can see just how scared and frustrated she feels. Jen has no idea why this is happening. Like Jen, I wanted to know what was happening to her, and I wanted to see if there was any way she could prevent what was going to happen to her son in the future.
We also hear from the point of view of a person called Ryan. It isn’t quite clear how Ryan fits into the story, but Gillian McAllister reveals why he is there in such a clever way. I thought the chapters told from his point of view were very intriguing. I have to say there is a jaw dropping moment as the final truths come to light.
I’m certain Wrong Place Wrong Time will be in my top ten reads of the year. It is such a clever, original novel and I highly, highly recommend it.
