About this deal

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]…. A clever, sinister take on 'deja vu' which gives a whole new perspective to psychological suspense. A modern 'Time-Traveller's Mum'. I was gripped -- Jane Corry

With Wrong Place, Wrong Time, a mother is trying to stop her teenage son from becoming a murderer. But so much more is going on—how did it get to that point? And why? What signs did she miss along the way? What’s The Story AboutThe next I Let You Go, the next Gone Girl, the next Girl on the Train . . . Wrong Place, Wrong Time will be a huge hit, deservedly so -- Sarah Turner, Costa Book Awards Judge

For those who enjoyed this year's TV adaptation of Kate Atkinson's novel Life After Life, Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister is the thriller equivalent. A phenomenally clever brain teaser with a lot of heart -- Ian Rankin In the first half, McAllister was doing entirely too much showing and trying to shove character traits down our throats. YES we understand that Kelly has dry wit and is anti-establishment. YES we get it, your father was repressed. YES we can see you struggle with parenting guilt. Thankfully after she stumbled through this first half, she really hit her stride. Homegirl was spittin motherhood AND marriage facts. And she even tapped into some "telling" that evoked many emotions – especially during the scene with her dad.It's perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . I had my mind blown apart. After I finished it I sat with my mouth hanging open in awe. One of the best books I've ever read -- Lisa Jewell The reason why Ryan remained as Kelly. I understand it was because Joseph would one day get out and didn’t want him to find out that he was undercover. But then it seemed like a silly idea because he has had to spend his whole life in hiding so that the police don’t know and to be prepared for the day Joseph is free. I didn’t really believe this line of reasoning perhaps because there wasn’t enough build up around Joseph and how dangerous this guy was, I’m told not shown. Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender . . . McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force * Guardian *
