I’ve been mulling over titles for quite some time. I’m thinking I want to give a little homage to the first lady of mystery, Dame Agatha.
Something like:
Murder at Whispering Pines Academy
Body in the Pool
Death at Midnight
But then I get crazy ideas like…
It All Started With Melted Ice Cream
Or maybe a little play on the lead detectives names,
TnT Explodes on the Scene
Ok that last one is silly, I know.
When you think of good mystery titles, what intrigues you?

Ha ha, I like the melted Ice Cream one. It’s funny how often my brain goes to P.G Wodehouse for titles of things.

Yeah, what would PG use in this case?

I think the ice cream one is too complex for a title, can’t immediately get my head around what kind of book it is, but it could make a great tagline. đŸ™‚

I think I won’t tagline because it will already say Book One of the Dismember Killer Series. Tag line over kill.

Perhaps opening line of the blurb?

Oh, and I’d drop the ‘All’, so tagline idea: ‘It started with the melted ice cream…’

With a wife, two daughters and two granddaughters I don’t need any more mysteries in my life – fictional or otherwise!

I like Murder at Whispering Pines, without Academy. It sounds mysterious and intriguing that way to me. Body in the Pool is evocative too, but much more modern. If it’s cozy I like the Whispering Pines, if it’s gritty I like the Pool.

It’s not cozy. Very procedural. A little too much blood to be cozy. LOL

Then definitely one of the colder titles…and no, that doesn’t mean the Ice Cream one. I like Body in the Pool.
