The Launch Party
11th January 2025
This has been on my list for so long that I can’t remember where the recommendation originally came from, and also on my shelf long enough that I can’t remember where I bought it.
It’s a classic locked-room mystery set amidst the first group of tourists to stay at the first hotel on the moon. The randomly selected cast all seem to have a secret, and nobody knows what’s going to happen next.
It’s interesting reading this while The Traitors is on TV, as it’s a very similar sort of setup, and is told really well with the dynamic of growing mistrust and random accusations thrown around for terrible reasons.
I enjoyed reading about these characters and their time on the moon. A clever mystery with so much going on.
