// title tips
What makes a great mystery title
Mystery titles dangle a question. The best ones:
- Promise a secret or a lie — the reader should want to know what’s hidden.
- Use the everyday turned suspicious: the guest, the neighbor, the alibi.
- Name a place or a person to anchor the puzzle (Hartley House, the Widow).
- Stay crisp. A tight title reads like a clue, not a confession.

Can I use the titles it generates?
