mystery, fantasy
Jen looks outside her window one night and watches her 18
year old son, Todd, stab a man to death. She is shocked and distraught as she
finally manages to fall asleep after seeing her son placed behind bars.
However, when she wakes up, Jen discovers that instead of it being the next
day, it is the day before the stabbing took place. She begins to go backward in
time and decides to use her circumstances to find out what
caused the stabbing and how to prevent it from
happening.
Wrong Place Wrong Time, a cleverly crafted fantasy mystery
by Gillian McAllister, kept me riveted. Even though the I was able to guess pieces
of the mystery, it didn’t ruin the ride of the story at all. Of course, the
reader has to be willing to accept the idea of time travel but I am a reader
who loves reading about time travel. Jen is unable to control her movements
through time and does her best to work within whatever day she wakes up. It
takes her a little time to comprehend the impact of her predicament but she is
willing to do whatever she can to help Todd. I really enjoyed this one a lot.
The audiobook narrator was Lesley Sharp. She is British (as this novel takes place in England) and has a low, forceful voice. It took me a while to settle into it. She displayed a passable American accent and had an average vocal repertoire. Her voice acting was good for this one. I’ll give her a B+.
