Finished: Wrong Place Wrong Time (McAllister) Another great page-turner which just took up the next day and a half of my reading life. :-) Jen is a happily married mother of 18 year old Todd. She's waiting up for him one night, just watching out the front window, when she spots him coming. Then, something goes terribly wrong. There is an older man lurking near Todd and Todd takes out a huge knife and stabs him to death. Jen screams for her husband, Kelly, and they run out to Todd, who is just standing there staring, with no emotion on his face. The police come and he's arrested. They won't allow Jen and Kelly to see him until the morning, so they reluctantly go home and try to fall asleep. When Jen wakes up the next morning, it is the not the next morning, but the day before! She's waking up on the morning of the murder. She has no idea what is going on except that she has somehow gone back in time by one day. Is there a way she can stop what is going to happen? It takes her all day to try and figure out what to do. She tries telling her husband, who is in her husband from the day before, so he doesn't know about the murder yet, but he thinks she's losing it. Then, the next day she wakes up and it's two days earlier! This pattern keeps going on until one morning it's a week earlier...one morning 3 months earlier...one morning a year earlier, etc. She realizes that there must be something important about each of the days that she's being "sent" to and starts trying to figure out why Todd would kill the man. She discovers the man's identity and soon some eye-opening connections to different members of her family come into play! It's a really good book with this fierce mother determined to do anything to protect her son and keep the murder from happening, even if people think she's out of her mind along the way. Loved it!
