For murder stories, titles such as 'The Blood - Stained Clues', 'The Lethal Deception', and 'The Sinister Slaying' work well. 'The Blood - Stained Clues' immediately makes readers think about a crime scene and the evidence left behind. 'The Lethal Deception' implies that there is some sort of trickery or falsehood involved in the murder, which adds to the suspense. 'The Sinister Slaying' simply has a very menacing and dark feel to it, which is perfect for a murder story.
For murder stories, titles like 'The Ghostly Killer' can be effective. It combines the idea of a murderer with something supernatural, making the story seem more mysterious. 'The Deadly Deception' is also good as it makes the reader think about how lies or false pretenses are involved in the murder. And 'The Poisoned Plot' is a great title because it suggests that there was a planned and devious way to commit the murder, perhaps using poison as the weapon.
The 'Sherlock Holmes' stories also feature great murder mysteries. For example, 'A Study in Scarlet'. Holmes uses his extraordinary deductive skills to solve the murder. The story is filled with interesting characters and a web of clues that keep the readers engaged.
Some possible titles could be 'The Silent Killer's Trail', 'Murder in the Shadows', 'The Enigmatic Death'. These titles create a sense of mystery and intrigue which are essential for a murder mystery story. 'The Silent Killer's Trail' gives the idea that there is a killer out there whose actions are not easily detected, and the police or the detective has to follow a difficult trail to catch the culprit. 'Murder in the Shadows' implies that the murder happened in a secretive or hidden place, adding to the mystery. 'The Enigmatic Death' makes the reader wonder what was so strange or puzzling about the death.
Good titles could be 'The Mysterious Footprints', which might suggest that there are some crucial clues left behind by the murderer in the form of footprints. 'The Cursed Crime Scene' also works well as it gives the feeling that there is something otherworldly or deeply troubled about the place where the murder occurred. And 'The Vanishing Victim's Trace' is a great title too, as it makes the reader wonder how a victim could disappear without a trace and what connection it has to the murder.
