It's hard to suggest a good title for your mystery story without knowing what it's about, but here are some suggestions I hope will help to give you some ideas.
Top Tips For Naming Your MysteryStory
- Make sure the title is relevant to what you're writing about. For example, don't call it 'The Mistaken Identity' if there is no mistaken identity.
- Although you want the title to be relevant, you don't want it to give the ending away. Make sure you don't accidentally ruin the surprise; the mystery should stay a mystery until the end!
- Don't feel that you have to give your story a title right away; it's usually a lot easier to name it once you've finished. Sometimes a title will just come to you as you're writing - it could even be based on a phrase from the story.
- Compile a list of words or phrases relating to the story, and try to make titles from them. You might find something you like.
- If you can't think of anything, don't worry; you can add a title at any point. There's no rush!
