Find A Plot for Your Next Murder Mystery




Searching for a new storyline for your next whodunit? Here are a couple of places to get you started.

FIRST, check out Wikipedia's lists of unsolved murders.


Starting in 30 BC with the death of Ceasarion to the heart-wrenching death of a teenager who was kidnapped while hitchhiking and managed to call 112 three times before her demise, I think you’ll find more than a few unsolved murders to mull over.


SECOND, conspiracy theories can get your brain running overtime. Here's just a few.

A pedophile with links to powerful world leaders is found dead in his prison cell. How would you write the scenario?

A government agent dies mysteriously. Did his agency have anything to do with it? Did he know too much about a secret lab? Or was his wife wanting out of a violent & brutal marriage?

A man’s body washes up on a beach. He’s identified as a man wanted for murder and thought to have drowned at sea twenty years ago. Did he run away to start a new life, or was he searching for the true killer?

A man disappears in a wilderness known as the Alaskan Triangle. His hiking partner returns with a hair-raising story. But what really happened?

I hope the Wikipedia list or the numerous conspiracy theories (and there are tons of them) will get the creative juices flowing.
