About this deal

Who are these people and why would a teenage boy plummet a knife into the belly of a stranger just footsteps away from his own front door?

She embarks on a challenging yet exciting journey into the past to unravel the mystery behind everything that happened. Wrong Place, Wrong Time follows Jen, a divorce lawyer, as she moves back slowly, and then faster, through time, investigating what might have led Todd to commit murder, and trying to prevent it. I understand it was because Joseph would one day get out and didn’t want him to find out that he was undercover. Yes, I will admit the beginning is a slow grind full of repetitiveness in the vein of Groundhog Day, but, once the basics are in place (I didn’t get to this point the first time around), the twists and turns are truly mind-blowing. This may end up on my best of the year list; it will certainly be one of my most enjoyable reading experiences.I am happy that I picked up this book to read, which has multiple themes embedded in it and multiple genre crossovers. Jen witnesses her 17-year-old son, Todd, murdering a total stranger on the street outside her house. This unique story starts on Day Zero with Jen waiting for her eighteen-year-old son Todd to get home. He was just months into undercover work and had agreed to testify to the identity of the man who ran the crime ring.

If you're looking for a fast, popcorn type of read this one is great, so long as you dial in and don't zone out while cooking dinner.This begins a time loop as Jen travels back days, weeks, months at a time trying to solve the mystery of who this man was and stop her son's involvement. Almost faster than her brain can process, Todd is handcuffed, put in a police car, and transported back to the station to await interrogation. And Jen realizes that somewhere in the past lies the trigger for Todd’s terrible crime…and it is her mission to find it, and prevent it from taking place.

You go back in time to observe an event that you caused that might have resulted in this unfortunate outcome. Now Jack Jordan’s Do No Harm gives us surgeon Dr Anna Jones, whose eight-year-old son, Zack, is kidnapped, and who is told she must kill a high-profile patient on the operating table or her boy will be murdered.

I decided to jump in on The Traveling Friends buddy read, as I knew it was one I'd want to be able to discuss with others, and sure enough, it was a smart move. I really enjoyed the Groundhog Day style of storytelling, although I think the middle began to drag a bit, and we go waaaaay back to the beginning of "the story" to finally figure out the "secrets" and "mysteries" of why this family is at the heart of a terrible crime where a mother has no warning as to why her beloved son would stab a seemingly strange man. This built a cloak of believability to the plot, which could have easily swerved into territory that felt illogical or far-fetched. He creates a persona and chooses the name Kelly after his older brother, who committed a few petty crimes and had hung himself.
