Synopsis

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. YOU'D DIE TO BE THERE.

Ten lucky people have won a place at the most exclusive launch event of the century: the grand opening of the Hotel Artemis, the first hotel on the moon. It's an invitation to die for. As their transport departs for its return to Earth and the doors seal shut behind them, the guests take the next leap for mankind.

However, they soon discover that all is not as it seems. The champagne may be flowing, but there is no one to pour it. Room service is available, but there is no one to deliver it. Besides the ten of them, they are completely alone.

When one of the guests is found murdered, fear spreads through the group. But that death is only the beginning. Being three days' journey from home and with no way to contact the outside, can any of the guests survive their stay?

About Lauren Forry

Lauren A. Forry was brought up in the woods of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where her FBI agent father and book-loving mother raised her on a diet of The X-Files and RL Stine. After earning her BA in cinema studies from New York University, she spent some time in film production before moving to London where she earned her MFA in creative writing from Kingston University. There she was awarded the Faber and Faber Creative Writing MA Prize for her first horror novel, Abigale Hall. Her short stories have since been published by Brick Moon Fiction, Lamplight Magazine, and in multiple sci-fi and horror anthologies. She currently resides in the woods but can, on occasion, be found in the quieter parts of London.

Goodreads review by Horror on July 10, 2023

2,5* A murder mystery to be solved in a luxury hotel on the moon just sounded so exciting.

Goodreads review by Kelli on October 05, 2024

What begins as an intriguing event. Ten characters, all with very different personalities. Shuttled to the moon. For a two-week all-expenses paid vacation of extreme luxury at the brand new Artemis Hotel. A one-of-a-kind experience. At the first hotel built directly on the Moon. And then someone die......more

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for a review A hotel on the moon. A very interesting premise but without that this book is just your standard locked in room mystery.

Goodreads review by Josephine on September 27, 2023

The burb makes this sound like it is so much more. Its is just awho dobe it based on a hotel on the moon. The narrator goes a good job of keeping the characters distinguished. The main issue with this is there is no character arc we only start to learn about them from about 85%. The pacing is off an......more

Goodreads review by Učitaj se! | Martina Štivičić on March 11, 2025

Radnja u kojoj grupa ljudi bude smještena u izolaciju i u toj se izolaciji suoči s ubojstvom nije neka novost u svijetu krimića, no Lauren Forry u ovom je romanu otišla korak dalje - svoju je grupu likova smjestila na najizoliranije moguće mjesto - Mjesec. Na žalost moje ljubavi prema SF-u i svemiru......more
