The Space Between
The Space Between | Dete Meserve
The truth isn't what it seems in this stirring novel of suspense. After presenting a major scientific breakthrough to a rapt audience across the country, renowned astronomer Sarah Mayfield returns home to a disturbing discovery. Her husband, Ben, a Los Angeles restaurateur, has disappeared, leaving behind an unexplained bank deposit of a million dollars, a loaded Glock in the nightstand, and a video security system that's been wiped clean. The only answers their son, Zack, can offer are the last words his father said to him: keep the doors locked and set the alarm. Sarah's marriage was more troubled than anyone suspected, but now she is afraid that her husband's recent past could be darker than she dares to admit. Suspecting that nothing about Ben's vanishing is what it seems, Sarah must delve into the space between old memories, newfound fears, and misleading clues to piece together the mystery of her husband's disappearance--and find what she hopes in her heart is the truth.

#OUABC Once Upon A Book Club Adult August 2018 selection • 4 Stars

The Space Between follows the story of Sarah, a scientist who discovers an astronomical object that will change the scientific world. But when she returns home from her meeting with NASA, she finds her husband gone missing and is considered the primary suspect in the murder of a perspective business partner. ⬇️

suvata Now she must navigate the challenges it presents to her relationships and her understanding of the people around her. The novel delves into themes of communication, empathy, and the power of secrets, ultimately encouraging readers to reflect on the importance of honesty and openness in their own lives. 5mo

This was a good book. It was an easy read; which was good because I have been in a reading slump so far this year. The who done it part was easy to figure out but the story was good despite that. I liked the relationship. @Rae2 let me borrow it. Thanks! 😁

Definitely up with Gone Girl as one of the best thrillers I‘ve ever read although I‘m still not a huge fan of thrillers, I‘m really grateful for #newyearwhodis for making me pick this up! Never would have otherwise. I loved the plot and characters, the love story was really wonderful and well done. I found the writing style quite cheesy some of the time and that put me off a bit, but not enough to stop me enjoying the book.

First packed lunch of 2019 in my new exciting lunch box! I‘m eating with my second #newyearwhodis book from @Caterina

First day back at work and anxiety isn‘t treating me well - nothing really *wrong* but my brain is in overdrive and my breathing and heart rate aren‘t having good time. Bad days with absolutely no trigger are so frustrating. 4.5 hours to go then I can have dinner with a supportive friend and crawl to bed, pleased to have my book

TrishB Hope the rest of the day ok 👍🏻 6y
Hestapleton Ugh I hate these days. Hopefully you can push through and the day flies by. 6y
Eggbeater I have anxiety too. The worst thing I do is beat myself up for having it so I hope you are not doing that. Be good to yourself. 💕 6y

Caterina Aww take care of yourself dear ❤️ Hope you made it through okay and are doing better!! I found this book to be a nice balanced mystery/thriller with a likeable, relatable, strong female protagonist, which is too rare! It sucked me in, I hope it's a good escape for you too! ❤️ It's also an unexpectedly great marriage/love story! 6y
Emilymdxn @Caterina im really enjoying it!! I rarely read thrillers but this is such a page turner and I like that the heroine is actually a capable person - I hate when thrillers‘ plots just rely on people making stupid decisions that put them in danger constantly? 6y
Emilymdxn @TrishB @Hestapleton @Eggbeater @Jas16 @JoScho @Kalalalatja @Suet624 @kgriffith @Tamra thank you so much everybody! You‘re such a lovely supportive community 6y

Making a start on my next #newyearwhodis book with @Caterina !! I don‘t think I‘d have picked this up on my own but the last book from the list was so good I‘m sure I‘ll enjoy this one!

I really enjoyed this one so much that it only took me a few days to finish!! I love space, so an astronomer working with NASA as the main character really drew me in. Sarah returns home from a presentation to find her husband missing, a gun in her home, money in the bank and their newly installed security cameras wiped clean. The twists kept coming in this one and even though I figured out the ending I was thoroughly invested in the story!

Started this one while doing some #audiocleaning this morning. It was on Kindle Daily Deals for $1.99, but when I went to purchase it I realized it is free on Kindle Unlimited!! I got through 27% already and it is great so far 👍🏻 Also, this cover 🥰

Best book, so far, that I have read this year.

I got the book through Once Upon a Bookclub. The book was good, I really enjoyed it. However, I am not sure the box as a whole is worth the amount paid. The experience and idea behind the box is good, but I have seen other book boxes where it felt like you were getting good/equal value for the money spent

Maewyn Yeah, I liked the idea though. So what did you get? 6y

I really enjoyed this book. It has a nice writing style and a quick pace that draws you in almost immediately. There were some aspects that were a bit predictable. I figured out the villain, if not the motive, halfway through the book. But the mystery isn't the best part of the the book. The best part is the journey and the love story hidden in the mystery/suspense. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came straight home after work tonight so I could eat a quick bite and finish this book. AMAZING! One of my absolute favorites that Once Upon a Book Club Box has done!

I really need to head to bed since it‘s my Sunday and I work in the morning but I CANT STOP READING THIS BOOK! #onceuponabookclubbox #thespacebetween #pageturner #readingpastmybedtime #whoneedssleepwhentheresabooktoread

Rae2 @Shibbyfruitfly I agree. I have been having that problem too. It is sitting on my desk, while I am at work, taunting me. I keep thinking, "I could probably read a few words while the software is running ..." 6y
Shibbyfruitfly @Rae2 Same! I got some read on my lunch break but that was not enough! 6y

I finished The Princess Bride last night and would have just gone into Renegades today but this was waiting on my doorstep last night so it HAS to go first. (But first, cleaning 😫) #onceuponabookclubbox

Rae2 @Shibbyfruitfly I know how you feel. Mine arrived today. The post person shook the box a bit so one of gifts was exposed. Now I am wondering how quickly I can get to that page so that I don't feel guilty. Excited for the book though stars and a mystery is perfect for me. 6y
Shibbyfruitfly @Rae2 I definitely know how you feel too. Oddly enough, that happened to mine too! Was it your Page 129 gift? 6y
Rae2 @Shibbyfruitfly It was. Sadly, I didn't make it to page 129 last night. Still, the story pulls you in. I like that it is a mystery with a romance of sorts, without being a typical cliche romance. 6y
Shibbyfruitfly @Rae2 According to their Facebook group, a lot of people had the same issue (myself included). I didn‘t get to page 129 last night either but I agree, so far it‘s a compelling story! 6y

What a good old-fashioned mystery! This is low on psychological thrills but the suspense is there even if it‘s not nail-biting.

Meserve‘s excelled at writing a compelling mystery with engaging characters. Returning from a business trip, Sarah finds her husband missing & what unfolds is a twisting tale of marriage, business, &murder (not all necessarily connected).

robinb Sounds interesting. 6y

After a crazy few days of walking in the sun, and a couple hours of doing so this morning (Palestine has taught me, why pay for transportation when you can walk?), I‘m finally taking a break this afternoon. I‘m drinking out of my new handmade mug from Hebron, which I purchased from one of the Palestinian shopkeepers who suffers most from the situation there, and enjoying this fantastic #arc from #netgalley. 😊 Have any of y‘all heard of this book?

Reviewsbylola Such a beautiful mug. 6y
Caterina @Reviewsbylola Isn‘t it? 😍 Hebron is famous for its handmade glass and ceramic work. A quick google image search of Hebron ceramics shows a wealth of gorgeous designs. I‘ve also been to one of the factories in Hebron, and I had to resist buying them all!! And the prices are superb in Hebron - less than 10 US dollars for this mug! 6y
