The Space Between by Dete Meyers - Reshelved Books

Hello Dewey Readers!

Check out this cool rock necklace the book came with!

I have read only a few books in the past few weeks.  It has been quite the reading slump!  But now that summer is over, there really is no better time than to curl up with a new book.  The Space Between by Dete Meserve was the latest pick for the Once Upon a Book Club Box and it did not disappoint.  

Sarah Mayfield is an astronomer that works for NASA, she is a mother to a teenage son, and she is a wife to a well-off restaurant owner.  Sarah's relationship with her husband, Ben, used to be the love story that so many of us read about in books- the perfect romance, but throughout the years it has begun to unravel.  Between work, busy schedules, and just life the two don't see each other very much.  In fact, Sarah actually considered asking Ben for a divorce.  Then Ben goes missing.  

Suspicions lie all over the place.  Did Sarah killer her husband?  Was Sarah having an affair?  Was it the co-owners of his restaurants that he was suing?  Or was it the shady father of a woman that recently disappeared as well? Is Ben even dead?

The security footage at Sarah's house was mysteriously erased, which means that someone had something they wanted to hide.  But what and who was it?  

I absolutely adored the way that Dete Meserve wrote this novel.  It was just the right amount of mystery, of family drama, and of thriller to keep me intrigued and pull me out of the dreaded reading slump that I was in!

Would I recommended this book? Yes!  Will I keep and eye out for her other novels?  Of course!  Would I give it 5 out of 5 Coffee Beans?  You bet!

Until the next read!
