In Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Scott's career consists of him transporting illegal materials. Of course, his life turns upside down. This action thrilled story is full of twists and turns where it'll keep you guessing until the very end.
Wow! If you pick up this book, you’d better hang on tight. This book is a crazy ride of things that you’d never expect to go wrong. I loved the way it kept me turning pages long after I should have been done.
One of my favorite things about this one was the cast of characters. There are so many. They are diverse and unique and that made this book really interesting. I didn’t have a hard time keeping up on any of the stories, though. The author did a really good job keeping things where they went.
It’s a bit tricky to come up with who would be the main characters in this one. I think it’s Greg and Marena Walker along with Scott Vaughn. But there are so many different perspectives throughout the book. I liked the way the author uses so many different perspectives from characters in this one. It gives the reader a great picture of exactly what happened and when.
If you like suspenseful books, this one is for you! The plot will keep you turning pages wanting to know just what is coming next. It’s a thriller for sure!
From page one, readers will be drawn to this intense, speed-up-your-heart-rate novel. This story will have readers on the edge of their seats throughout the entire story. And it will definitely keep readers up past their bedtime (which may or may not be a good idea). This story is full speed ahead on the suspense and mystery level too. It also brings to light the horrific problem of drug trafficking and the effect it has on those that get stuck sucked in and within its grasp. This read is definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s a story that is intriguing and horrifying all at once. Readers will not be able to put this fast paced story down.

A vacation to the Carribean sounds delightful. I loved the descriptions of the area. It all sounds wonderful unless you witness a transfer of illegal merchandise. From that moment the characters are swept up in an adventure and a fight for their lives.
Greg and Marina are wonderful characters. I loved the way they worked together and protected each other when put in life-threatening situations. The book also features others who, in some way, are a part of the international scheme.
This book is full of suspense. I was caught up in the story and cheering for the good guys to win.

This is my first book by this author but it probably won't be my last if he continues to write suspense like this one. I was hooked from the first page of the prologue and it continued even after all the pieces fit together. There are quite a few characters because of the plot but I was able to follow along easily. The story takes the reader from islands in the Dominican Republic to Florida to Utah.
After the intriguing prologue, the story starts with Greg and Marena Walker on vacation in the Dominican Republic which sounds relaxing, but soon turns into something resembling a nightmarish dream when they unexpectedly witness the murder of their guide during a drug deal. The phrase wrong place, wrong time is a fitting description and the perfect title for this book.
I liked the multiple points of view from the different characters, which enables the reader to piece things together while the characters are still somewhat in the dark. I didn't want to stop reading and read until my eyes could no longer stay open. This was a thrilling and suspenseful read, and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes clean suspense.
Thanks to NetGalley and Covenant Communications for allowing me to read this book. All thoughts expressed in my review are my own.
The story line is fast paced and keeps the reader guessing. There are an almost overwhelming number of characters who at first don't seem to be related at all.
I was given an advanced read in exchange for my honest opinion, thanks NetGalley.
This was an intense book that is clean. I love reading suspenseful books. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. E. James Harrison did an amazing job writing this book.
A thriller that takes us all over the globe while building several crime threads then weaving them all into the actions of one very determined smuggler. As the story builds background, more characters are added, bringing the story very close to imploding from over population. But E James Harrison pulls it all together in time to give us a surprising ending. It's definitely a unique story line written in a unique style that still brings us to the right place at the right time.
This book was wild! It packed more action and adventure into the first 4 chapters then most books have in the entire book. It kind of reminded me of an episode of Hawaii 5-0 on steroids. (You know where something is always going wrong!) I will say I didn't love how many different POV's it kept switching back and forth between. I would have been happier if it was just the bad guy and the couple. The extras were a bit too much.
This is truly gripping, a thriller that’s not to be missed. Greg and Marena Walker' are on a Caribbean vacation. The water is beautiful, as are the beaches. The setting is idyllic. Their holiday of dreams turns to one of nightmares in mere moments when they discover that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time when they witnessed a murder.
Scott Vaughn is a smuggler, a dangerous one. He has no scruples and will do away with anything that hampers his plans. In this instance those in his way happen to be the Walkers. Vaughn too is a wanted man though, and his capture further thickens the plot. There is so much more to this interstate game of chase than initially meets the eye. You’ll be turning pages late into the night. The novel starts well but slows a little in the early chapter before picking up pace in the middle of the book. It remains fast paced, on the edge of your seat exciting for the remainder of the novel.
chase cntinues from Florida to a small town in Idaho through a snow storm, You will be turning pages to find out what happens next.
An intriguing novel of suspense and adventure.
E. James Harrison has written a compelling suspense novel. The focus is on the horrible situation that Greg and Marena find themselves in rather than a romance which made the suspense the most compelling part of the story. The prologue pulled me into the story immediately and the book didn't let go anywhere along the way. It was interesting to see the different perspectives as the story went on, including the bad guys and their motivations and actions and how they collided with the 'good guys' including Greg and Marena who came to the Domincan Republic for vacation and ended up in the 'wrong place' at the 'wrong time' and ended up facing death. I especially enjoyed the details about Greg and Marena's vacation and snorkeling trip before things went wrong. An enjoyable mystery full of suspense and sympathetic as well as evil characters, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a great choice for those who enjoy a good suspense story without all the romance.
I finished this book in an afternoon and to be honest it wasn’t because it was so good I couldn’t put it down it was more like what else is going to go wrong in this book. The premise is a couple witnesses a murder in the Dominican Republic and just like the title
Wrong place, wrong time but the events after we’re just kind of ridiculous. I found the situations were really far fetched and honestly not necessary. I found the book dragged on with bumble after bumble. There was introduction and character development that wasn’t really necessary and held no relevance to the events of the book. There were a lot of characters in the book as well and I sometimes felt overwhelmed. It’s a quick read and I wouldn’t not recommend it, it just wasn’t as well written as I’d hoped.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Overall this book was alright. It was fast-paced, full of action, but it tried (I feel) to introduce too many people in too many different situations at the start of the book all at once, and it took a while to realize how they all connected. It wasn't my favorite suspense novel, but certainly it was far from the worst. I would recommend to anyone interested to give this book a shot.
This book pulled me in from the very beginning. Definitely full of intrigue that had my heart pounding the entire time. I found it very hard to put this book down! Thank you to NetGalley and Covenant Communications for providing the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This what the first time I have read a book by this author and I hope to read more by him. He writes a very fast moving and exciting story that from the first page you are engrossed in it and don't want to put it down! Thank you for such a great book!
Wow! This book was great! It started off with quite a suspenseful story line. And keeps you on your toes the entire story. I will be recommending this book to my book club. I think they’ll love all of the action and suspense.
I would give this book 4.5 stars. The only reason for the slight decrease is the fact that there were almost too many minor characters, so it was hard to keep track at times. This is a clean almost thriller book. Since you knew from the beginning who the "bad guys" were that classification might make more sense than suspense. Scenes were somewhat intense, but definitely not over the top. My first read by this author - I would be willing to read more. The characters were presented with challenges that seemed mostly realistic. Now I wish I could have a conversation with the author to find out which scenes from the book were true since the story was not entirely fiction!
If you want an intriguing and intense book that is clean, this is your book. I loved reading this book. I was on pins and needles the entire time. E. James Harrison did an artful job writing this book.
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.
I so love a good suspense story!
While I would hate being in a situation like this, I do love reading about someone else being in a situation like this! I especially love reading how it all comes together and how it all plays out.
Such a GREAT BOOK! Grab a copy for some fun summer reading!
