Summary
He only looked away for a second.

Still haunted by the disappearance of his little sister, Amy, over twenty years ago, Joseph Bridgeman’s life has fallen apart. When a friend talks him into seeing hypnotherapist Alexia Finch to help with his insomnia, Joseph accidentally discovers he can time travel. His first trip only takes him back a few minutes, but his new-found ability gives him something he hasn’t felt for the longest time: hope.

Joseph sets out to travel back to the night Amy went missing and save her. But after several failed attempts, he discovers the farther back he travels, the less time he gets to stay there. And the clock is ticking.

With the help of Alexia, Joseph embarks on a desperate race against the past to save his sister. Can he master his new skill and solve the mystery of Amy’s disappearance before it’s too late?

Previously released as The Unexpected Gift of Joseph Bridgeman, this updated version includes extra chapters, new plotlines, and even deeper character development. It makes way for an expanded vision of the Joseph Bridgeman Series, with the first four books released in 2021 and 2022.

What a pleasant surprise!! I selected this book from my VIP Rewards. I didn’t have my reading glasses when I chose this book. I chose it based on star rating, title and cover. I’m thrilled! This fast paced novel is exactly the type of novel I would normally choose! The time travel sci-fi angle mixed with the characters hooked me right from the start!! The main character has such a witty sense of dry humour! I found myself laughing out loud!! The narrator is fantastic!! He’s very charismatic! I give this novel a definite 10/10! I’m onto the 2nd book in this 4 book series (and I don’t have any qualms paying for it in credits!!) Enjoy!! ❤️❤️

This was a refreshingly different storyline than what I have been reading lately and that was wonderful! I didn't know this was part of a series, I must read more! The author's sense of humor is phenomenal and the narrator's delivery of this was immaculate!!

Profile Avatar Lucy E. Nov 2022

This book was surprisingly good! The narrator was the best I've ever heard, with faultless accents and numerous characters. The story is very gripping, and there's no telling where it's going to take you. I binged it in a very short amount of time, even though I didn't want it to end! The narration is So important in an audiobook, and this narrator was amazing.

Profile Avatar JJ4UT Nov 2022

Disappointed with this title. I listened for a few hours and just couldn\'t get into it. Also did not like the narration. Sorry - personal taste

Profile Avatar Marilyn S. Nov 2022

What a neat surprise! This book was so good, I had to keep listening! Good job.

Such a great book. The narrator is fantastic too.

I received this book as a VIP selection. As a result, I have a new favorite author and narrator!! Fabulous audiobook!!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

This was one of the worst books I have ever read. I’m always invested. Once I start a book I will stay until the end. I was disappointed.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

I don't usually read this kind of book and wasn't sure about it, especially as the narrator sounded exactly like one of the readers from the Jodi Picoult book I'd just finished listening to. It was very disconcerting as I'd completely bought into the last character and I couldn't differentiate them. I stopped listening for a couple of weeks and picked it up again. Although the American accent of a bloke ostensibly from Chicester still made me a little dubious, Porter is such a good reader that I was soon carried away by the story and listened to it in one great binge. There were a few parts where I felt some tighter editing would have enhanced the narrative (hence 4 not 5) but the overall pace and arc were not spoiled. I definitely will be reading/listening to the further adventures of Joseph Bridgerman, and hope he eventually manages to sync up with the love of his life.

Profile Avatar pqcampbell Nov 2022

Great story, very well written! I thoroughly enjoyed this. The narrator was fantastic. One can forgive the American accent for a British character because this narrator did such an amazing job.

Profile Avatar William MD Oct 2022

The book was great but the narrator although good did not suit this english book as an American

Profile Avatar Garett C. Oct 2022

Great storytelling with a fast pace. Can’t wait to hear the next installment. Lots of great quotes that I had to write down for future use. You think you know which way the story is going then it satisfyingly contorts your expectations. Just found this author and I am thoroughly impressed.

Profile Avatar Sherry L. Oct 2022

A time travel novel like no other.. Really enjoyed it. The author has a great sense of humour. Excellent narration. Don’t forget you can speed up the narration.

Loved it! So excited that there is more to come. Want to binge these so bad. Can't wait!

Profile Avatar Alicia Apr 2025

i love this book

Profile Avatar Judy S. Feb 2025

I loved this. Hated to think it was over. Very engrossing. The narrator was the best! He is so believable, even with women’s voices, although knowing it’s him reading distracts a bit from the story. The action is so well told that the entire scene was clear in my head, putting me into the scenes. Although I guessed the final twist, the resolution made it believable and drew me into the final intrigue at the end. Onto Book Two! Woohoo!

A really nice book, well written and narrated

Profile Avatar Archie Worsham Jul 2024

Picked this book because I like missing person stories. Did not realize the book dealt with time travel. The book kept me listening. Good story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2024

I dont know if listening vs reading changed how I took this book in. The voices sort of put me off The American accent for Joe and the English accent for the rest as well as high pitched for women. Some of the continuity was puzzling. At the risk of spoilers The Ticket stayed but the wire had to return. Made no sense. I guessed the reason Amy left fairly quickly. A lot of sequences were rushed. Sounded a lot like The Time Travellers Wife in a lot of places. Some things had tedious descriptors while others had zero. Used my free trial for this so I'm not mad about it. Worth a listen if you don't pay too much.

Profile Avatar Brett L. Apr 2024

The opening book of what I've determined to be the best series I've come across.

A good start to a series. I enjoyed the narrator.

Profile Avatar Melissa Gray Dec 2023

I really enjoyed listening to this book. it was very intriguing and engaging. I didn't realize it was a series until about halfway through, but I'm definitely going to listen to the others.

Profile Avatar Bjhell Dec 2023

Like an unedited diary. Too much introspective musings by the main character. I started feeling almost a bit claustrophobic in the end. The book could easily have been half as long by eliminating the less than interesting I Me My stuff and excessive detailing of minor issues.

Profile Avatar Catherine C. Nov 2023

I chose this from my VIP rewards. I have not had much success with those selections. That losing streak has officially ended! It’s been a long time since an audio book pulled me in and kept me there. This one has an interesting storyline that although I could predict a couple threads, I didn’t get them right. It’s nice to be surprised! The narrator can make it break an audio book and this one was perfect. As soon as it ended I had to get book 2. Can’t wait to see where it takes me.

Profile Avatar KellyAnne Nov 2023

This book was nothing like I thought it was going to be, but in a surprising wonderful way!

Profile Avatar Judi Jeanotte Nov 2023

I love books with time travel and this book offered up a whole different possibilities. The characters were credible, the writing concise and the narration clear. Definitely worth the credit!

Profile Avatar Lauren E Nov 2023

Really enjoyed this book! I will definitely listen to the series. Worth the credit!!

Profile Avatar Miss Biggun Oct 2023

Absolutely loved this book and couldn't stop listening, the story was completely different from what I expected, but then again I chose it for the title and cover and didn't read the information, I rarely do as it's so hard to choose just one book each month otherwise. Looking forward to hearing more titles from this author

Profile Avatar Caroline D. Sep 2023

I loved it! Imaginative! Reader did a great job getting the characters across!!

Profile Avatar Dean S. Sep 2023

Great new take on the time travel genre. Witty, fast paced, and engaging. One tiny flaw though. I love Ray Porter as a narrator. He was the only choice for the James Reece novels, but this book wants a British narrator. It’s completely set in the UK and the narrator switches from an English accent for all the secondary characters to an American accent for the main character while still using English colloquialisms.

Profile Avatar Catherine C. Sep 2023

Interesting plot line and characters. The frustration levels felt by Joe came across well. I was engaged enough by the end of the book to move straight on to the next book in the series.

Profile Avatar Ger Faughnan Sep 2023

A strange & very different story. After the 1st hour of listening, it rapidly held my attention. I LOVED it.

Love love love. The BEST narration and such a great story. Time travel can be so confusing and this author does such a great job making sure it all adds up and makes sense!

Profile Avatar Karen A. Aug 2023

I only listened to this book because I couldn’t find anything else in the VIP books that caught my attention and the reviews were positive. So glad I didn’t miss it!!! I couldn’t stop listening, wondering how it could possibly end. I’m ready to hear the next three books!!!

Profile Avatar craig specht Jul 2023

this was an excellent book and I loved it. I've always been interested in time travel. my only question is not that I'm trying to spoil alert this but what happened to his counterpart? the narrator did an excellent job.

Profile Avatar Kerry Jun 2023

Excellent, well observed and written story and beautifully read. Was delighted to find it is the first of a series, so will definitely be reading more from these two

Profile Avatar Arlene F. May 2023

Excellent Narration and Intriguing Story Line. It was a VIP selection and I am now looking into some of the author's other books. I kept trying to guess the ending but I just didn't call it which is more fun for me to not have any clue where it was going. Loved it!

Profile Avatar Marie P. Apr 2023

Quite enjoyable. I find this genre addicting. Just enough “ magic” to make one revisit their past for wisdom

Profile Avatar Denise C. Mar 2023

Loved this book. I was hooked from the start. Once I finished reading, I couldn't wait to start the next book in the series.

Profile Avatar Angie M. Mar 2023

Not at all what I expected - more of a fantastic / supernatural premise. I got a bit bored halfway, put it down for a while, but then finished the 2nd half all at once. A little emotional, a little bittersweet, a little exciting. Narrator did a nice job.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

Very good, like a Jules Verne story !

Profile Avatar Ben G. Feb 2023

A great story filled with catchy moments that turn the plot. Characters were likeable and easily understood. The narrator did a great job and I enjoyed his approach although felt his accent didn’t match the setting of the uk.

Profile Avatar Vicki K. Dec 2022

It was a good decision to offer this book as the free VIP selection. I was hooked almost from the start. It was a very creative story with likable, well-defined characters. I just bought the second book in the series and plan to read them all. The reader is good, even if his female voices are a little weak. But overall it’s a fantastic listen that I would highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Dena Knight Dec 2022

Profile Avatar J R. Dec 2022

I echo Christine P's review. We weren't sure what we had when I picked this as a VIP Reward, but it hooked both my wife and me and kept us listening. We are looking forward to the next book in the series, and the reader!

I was surprised by this story line. Not what I expected, but I enjoyed it very much.

Profile Avatar YanielDoung Dec 2022

Starts off slow and sad but it gets really good. One of the best series of books

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

I can’t get past the American narrator for a protagonist who is supposed to be British. What are they thinking? He does a good British accent for other characters so he just should have done the entire book with the pretend accent. It makes zero sense to me

Profile Avatar Stephanie F. Nov 2022

I was pleasantly surprised. It was fun, well narrated (I am not a native English speaker) and I downloaded the second book in the series already!

Profile Avatar Tiffany D. Nov 2022

Same as everyone else it seems! Didn't expect such a gem in the VIP books, LOVED the narrator, great story, couldn't tell the end until I reached it, laughed out loud a few times, couldn't put it down but also didn't want it to end! Recommend it for sure, most likely will buy #2 in the series too!

Profile Avatar Kaoutar T. Nov 2022

I downloaded this book as a monthly reward, and did not regret it! This is a nicely written and narrated book. It’s the first in a series, and I’m definitely planning to read on!

Profile Avatar Suzanne M. Nov 2022

Very unusual. A definite must read. Time traveling

Profile Avatar Kathinie Nov 2022

Even though I am not one for time-travel genres, this was a great story line! Kept me interested and listening constantly. What I was not so fond of was the narrator. The story takes place in England so I would have expected an English accented narrator which would have made my listening experience more enjoyable. His voice seemed a bit flat, or monotone, for my taste.

Profile Avatar Darlene S. Nov 2022

Wonderful narrator reading a pretty bad story. I only finished it as the narrators voice is so good.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2022

The narrator is the best I've heard. Love his narration. The story is questionable? Several times I wanted to quit. But I'm glad to have stuck it out. The ending is worth it. One major disappointment, but I'm not going to spoil the story for you by telling you what it is.

Profile Avatar Nancy K. Oct 2022

Good book. Character was believable and story interest was good. The narrator did a great job.

Profile Avatar Joy S. Oct 2022

This was a great read/listen. Brother takes younger sister to a carnival. Suddenly she disappears, Joe and his family are destroyed by the mystery. When Joe discovers he can time travel (jump), he becomes determined to go back and rescue his beloved sister. There is nothing easy, but with friends and determination he keeps learning and trying. There will be more books in the series.
