Well, first off, there's almost always a crime scene. It's the place where the murder happened and where a lot of the initial clues are found. Then there's the motive. Why would someone want to kill the victim? It could be for money, love, revenge, or power. And the plot usually has some sort of red herrings, things that mislead the detective and the reader. This keeps the suspense going until the very end when the real killer is finally revealed.

Fictional murder mystery stories build suspense in several ways. One is through the setting. A spooky old mansion or a desolate island, like in many Agatha Christie stories, can add an air of mystery. The use of red herrings is also important. These are false clues that mislead the reader and the detective in the story. In 'Sherlock Holmes' stories, Holmes has to sift through these red herrings to find the real solution. Moreover, the slow revelation of the victim's past can create suspense. If the victim had a dark secret, as is often the case, the discovery of that secret bit by bit keeps the reader on edge.

There are quite a few options. For example, 'The Hidden Murderer' is a simple yet effective name. It makes the reader immediately curious about who the hidden murderer is. Another one could be 'Death's Veiled Secret'. This name creates an air of mystery as it suggests that there is a secret related to the death that is veiled or hidden. Also, 'The Unsolved Murder Riddle' is a good choice as it implies that the story is going to be about a murder that is like a riddle waiting to be solved.
