An Out of this World Cozy Mystery
History professor and former FBI profiler Carolyn Masters moved to the moon to escape her past. It was supposed to be a new start teaching at Armstrong University in famous Armstrong City, a small town built underground on the moon. But she isn't there long before her colleague and Lunar Independence advocate is murdered. Now, she, along with Michael Cheravik, former Dallas homicide detective, must solve the mystery, save the earth from terrorists, and maybe exorcise the demons from their own pasts.
This book blends science fiction with a cozy mystery. Cozy mysteries have often been set in unusual places such as ancient times or medieval monasteries. This mystery takes place in the world of a lunar colony at the end of the 21st Century. It is based on a hard science fiction approach which extrapolates from known scientific principles and technologies into the future. The small town is based on solid principles of space habitat science. Meanwhile the mystery takes on a classic cozy mystery feel with a woman being pressed back into service as a sleuth after leaving that world behind. Filled with eccentric and believable characters, the story features the best of both genres of science fiction and cozy mysteries. Mystery fans will love the investigation and science fiction fans will be fascinated by the very believable world of the future.

From the Author
For as long as I can remember, my two favorite literary genres were cozy mysteries and science fiction. I loved the small town sleuthing of a good cozy mystery. I also liked the speculation about the future found in a good science fiction novel. Many happy moments I've spent either with Agatha Christie and Lillian Jackson Braun, and many other happy moments with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. These were my inspirations for the Dark Side of the Moon Mystery series. Combining the small town of the cozy mystery with the futuristic setting of science fiction I was pleasing myself as much as I hope to be pleasing my readers.
I must say, I've fallen in love with the characters of Michael Cheravik and Carolyn Masters. I can assure fans of these two sleuths that there will be more stories featuring them forthwith.

Review of The Dark Side of the Moon by Terri Lynn Main
By Rochelle Weber, Roses & Thorns Reviews
When history professor and former FBI profiler, Carolyn Masters took a position at Armstrong University on the moon, she thought she had left the past behind her. However, she isn't on the moon long before she is called in to join Michael Cheravik, a rough and occasionally obnoxious former Dallas homicide detective, to investigate the death of Juan McAlister, astromechanics professor and lunar independence activist.
As the investigation progresses, they find that they must not only solve the murder, but stop a terrorist plot against earth, and maybe exorcise the demons of their past.
I greatly enjoyed this taut mystery and found myself on the edge of my seat through much of it, although there were a few very funny scenes as people adjusted to lunar gravity--especially the part about the Thanksgiving turkey. Do not read that while eating or drinking!
Terri has definitely done her homework and I found her transportation system fascinating. A huge balloon inserts capsules into orbit and their rockets jockey them toward L-5, the point at which the gravitation pull between the Earth and Moon is equal. The capsule docks with the L-5 habitat and after a few days' layover, the passengers catch the shuttle to Armstrong.

A Trip to Remember
By R. L. Copple
Terri Lynn Main offers up an impressive debut science fiction, mystery novel in Dark Side of the Moon. Carolyn Masters, an ex-FBI profiler, has a history. A history she's trying to forget. In an attempt to distance herself from that past, she takes a teaching position on the lunar university at Armstrong City.
But the manipulated atmosphere of the doomed city creates a mask hiding the less controlled elements of the lunar independence movement. It isn't long before Carolyn's past catches up with her and she finds herself waist-deep in a murder investigation. What at first appears a cut-and-dried case becomes a complex mystery that threatens even Earth.
The mystery is a good, old-fashion who-dun-it. Even a what-dun-it. Carolyn gets saddled with an abrasive ex-cop, Michael. Between the two, peeling back one layer of the mystery leaves them with yet another puzzle to solve. Mystery lovers won't be disappointed in this offering. The only potential downside would be for mystery readers who want quick action. Main focuses on character and world building for the first few chapters. Don't expect the murder in the first chapter or two.
And it really is in the world and characters that Main excelled. Both are not only believable, but have depth and richness usually found in more seasoned authors. There are only two hiccups to that believability factor.
One, Main has obviously done her homework on the science. Much of it follows hard science in potential near-future abilities. But the inclusion of a common myth, that exposure to a vacuum causes one's body to expand and blood to boil in seconds, wiggled its way into the manuscript. Other than that one scientific miss, I found the science very believable, so overall she gets a high score on that account.
Two, there is room for improvement in the dialog. While overall not bad, some of it occasionally didn't ring true in explaining sometimes intimate detail to strangers, or saying things that most people would tend to avoid saying. These instances didn't lessen the richness of the characters, but improvement there could greatly supplement them.
One of the characteristics that impressed me was Main's natural way of integrating her character's faith into the storyline. Main portrayed a Christian character authentically, rather than the caricatures one tends to find on either side of the fence. The reader won't feel preached at, though the character does give her opinion on occasion. Both Christian and secular readers have little to fear here.
Another area that the reader will enjoy in this book is the descriptions. I had no problem seeing in my mind's eye the trip she took from Earth to the Moon, or the domed cities. The beginning has a touch of 2001: A Space Odyssey to it as we follow her on the trip to the Moon.
This is an outstanding first novel, and I would easily recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction and/or mysteries set in an interesting world filled with well drawn characters.
Note: I received an ebook from the author upon which this review is based.

Excellent SF/Mystery
By Cellophane Queen
For many, many reasons, I'd love to give this book more stars. It's a well written, a unique murder mystery/science fiction book which will entertain lovers of both genres. The middle-aged amateur sleuth isn't such an amateur after all. She has multiple degrees and teaches university courses--on the moon! But she worked for the FBI for a few years back in the day, so she knows her way around a crime scene and is a master profiler. When a rare murder occurs in the lunar colony, she's called on to use her skills to solve the mystery. And she does this very well.
Terri Lynn Main has written a very enjoyable book about the near-future colonization of the Moon (I can only wish it were sooner). The SF is technically good; the mystery is well-wrought.
Here's my down side, and this is a totally personal take on it. The MC, Carolyn, mentions her religion multiple times. It's a topic in several conversations. That would be fine if the mystery involved some kind of religious cult where her knowledge of religion plays into solving the crime. Unfortunately, the mentions of Carolyn's Christianity has zero to do with the plot and, IMO, shouldn't have been included. It did not add to the story and detracted from it for me.
