After witnessing her teenage son murder someone, a lawyer starts waking up every morning having traveled back in time.  While she tries to figure out both what is happening to her and how to stop her son from committing such a crime, she keeps going further and further into the past, eventually going back past the birth of her son and the start of her relationship with her husband.  Can she find a way to fix both of her problems while learning the truth about all of her relationships.

In Wrong Place Wrong Time, Gillian McAllister turns the normal formula on its head: we know who the killer is, but we don’t know why.  Add in a little time travel and you get an engrossing tale that breaks up some of the monotony of the genre.   I’m going to have to look deeper into McAllister’s back catalog and see what else she has to offer.

With this in the books, I’ve now completed the top six, and seven of the top eight, vote-getters for the 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards for the Best Mystery and Thriller category.  It might be time to start diving into a different genre to break things up a bit.
