I’m writing a murder mystery story what is a good place setting?
I’ve decided to write a murder mystery book. I’ve already written a couple of fiction books but decided to switch for a change. I need a good place setting for my book. Something where it’s not to cold and not to hot. The time setting is on halloween. Does anyone know a good place setting for it. Also if anyone has some name suggestions for me i would appreciate it. Any tips would be fine too. Im up for anything! Thanks!

Any modern city seems to fit your description.

a subway car thats stuck underground would be awesome.
and haloween is really cliche, maybe you could think of something a little different.
good luck with your book!
wait do you mean youve written books or youve written books that got published? let me know, maybe i’ll read them =]

I’ve got two great settings for you:
1) Asheville NC
2) Santa Cruz CA
Both of these are big towns (populations around 50-70,000), but not so big that everyone is completely anonymous.
Neither of them get too hot at any point in the year, but neither get brutally cold.
Asheville’s motto is “Keep Asheville Weird.” That alone should be a clincher, but I’ll also point out that Asheville is a really eclectic mix of university students, mountain people, old hippies, adventure athletes, and rich people building second homes.
Santa Cruz is a really eclectic mix of technology workers and surfers, and has some really interesting spots, like The Mystery Spot.
Good luck!
