Book Review: Wrong Place Wrong Time

I was intrigued by the back copy of this new suspense novel, Wrong Place Wrong Time, by E. James Harrison. It hinted at an edge-of-your-seat read and definitely delivered.

Scott Vaughn has made a living smuggling illegal things. He's good at what he does and commands the fees to prove it. But when he takes a job that requires him to deliver a package to Idaho within a week, everything changes. First, he ends up having witnesses to something he wants to keep hidden, so he has the complication of making sure they won't talk. And he still has the package to worry about. Greg and Marena Walker just want to have a vacation, a time to recharge, but that entire plan goes out the window when they witness a murder. They're on the run for their lives and one mistake could end everything for them.

I thought the book had a realistic plot and some great tension throughout. It was different in the fact that there isn't a main character per se, just threads of stories that are woven together to an exciting conclusion. It threw me off a little bit having so many characters and stories to keep straight because it slowed down the pacing, but they all converge and the suspense pulled me in. The author has also created three-dimensional villains who are willing to pay for their crimes to remain hidden. So realistic! Overall, this action-packed book will stay in the back of your mind and make you second-guess traveling internationally! Definitely a good weekend read.

Here's the back copy:

The first idyllic hours of Greg and Marena Walker's Caribbean vacation are filled with turquoise water, sand as soft and white as powdered sugar, and gentle ocean breezes. But all too soon, the Walkers find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now they are running for their lives . ..

Scott Vaughn has made a lucrative career of secretly transporting illegal materials. Pay him enough, and he'll move whatever you want from anywhere to anywhere. And though he has never met the Walkers, he needs them dead. His future depends on making certain they don't have one.
Wayne Hovey desperately wants Scott Vaughn—alive is best; dead is acceptable. And luck has handed him the perfect bait: Greg and Marena Walker.
In a heart-pounding game of cat and mouse, each player is driven to succeed, never realizing they are all pawns in something much larger—and more dangerous—than any of them knows.
