Instead, we tend to fly through life in our own bubbles and then when the shoes drops, we're forced to react. The most intriguing premise for a novel I have seen in some time, and what's more the story more than lives up to it! 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]….

I like the fact there are genre crossovers here and it works really well, deepening the mystery and sharpening the thrill element so much so you can’t put the book down. Devastated, she and her husband wait for answers at the police station after he is taken into custody.Wrong Place, Wrong Time is an intricately plotted, highly original thriller full of heart, layers and jaw-dropping twists. I couldn’t begin to predict my own varied thoughts, and manifestations following shocking news that my son killed a person? Wrong Place, Wrong Time further proves this point as the concept is her most intriguing and experimental yet. It became an instant international bestseller, hitting the Sunday Times and Canadian Bestsellers list.

The author never committed to the time travel thing, never really explained how it happened, and there were massive plot holes related to this problematic (missing baby 20 years later?It’s two o’clock in the morning and Jen Brotherhood is waiting for her eighteen year old son, Todd, to get home. The realisation of what was happening dawned on me not too early to ruin the story but not too late that I felt dumb for not seeing it coming. I actually listened to the audiobook on holiday and I couldn't wait to get back to it each time I had to stop it. Jen finds herself living her worst nightmare when her teenage son, Todd, finds himself arrested for murdering a complete stranger.

I couldn't figure out what was coming and this is so important for me as I read/listen to a LOT of books and recently have read a lot where I have figured out what's coming and sometimes don't even bother with the end because I have become bored before then. On the one hand, the narrator is fabulous and does a wonderful job inflecting various voices for the differing characters; on the other, it made it more difficult to keep up with the jumping timeline and easier to zone out on the more repetitive parts. She embarks on a challenging yet exciting journey into the past to unravel the mystery behind everything that happened. I'm usually a reader who has a hard time suspending belief and this book certainly requires some of that. If she had spent more time with him, shown more interest in his interests, done things differently, would he have still stabbed?

E succede ogni volta che si addormenta: perciò, nei limiti della sua resistenza, tenta di non addormentarsi. A deep-thinking, mind-bending novel that will keep you riveted, don’t make the mistake that I did and put it down prematurely. It’s very well written, cleverly plotted, pitched perfectly so it just flows and in some ways it shouldn’t but it does, demonstrating real writing skill. This is an intelligent and compulsive read as all the puzzling parts come together in a emotive, imaginative and unexpected story of twists and turns, so well written, and with characters that hold your interest, in what I think is her best novel to date. She throws off the guilt and knows that she loved her son and whatever choices he made were not because she could have been better.
