Book Review: Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

Rating: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Back in the Summer, I finally had the chance to read Gillian McAllister's book Wrong Place Wrong Time. I had my eye on this book ever since I heard about the publication of the hardback copy and patiently waited for the release of the paperback as I knew this would be the perfect book to take away with me on holiday.


You know sometimes when you wait so long to read a book, the hype can be so much better than the read itself? Well, I can honestly tell you that this was not the case for this genius time-travel meets murder mystery novel.


Although at times it was slightly overwhelming trying to keep up with the plot, as McAllister moves back days, months and even years, the layering of each character and their individual plotlines just seemingly merges into one. You can tell that a lot of thought and meticulous planning occurred to map out such a unique mystery. This is definitely not a book you will want to skim through, there are so many moving parts that you will really have to concrete yourself when reading. The beauty of it lies in the book's depth, it is one to read again and again. I can assure you there will be things you may have missed when reading this book the first time around...
