Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The problem you may run into with food-related murder titles is that series by Diane Mott Davidson with the caterer. You could peruse her books for inspiration and/or to make sure you're not using anything she's used.

Is that an issue for books? Only in the same genre, or published within a certain number of years of each other? I have no idea.

Oh my god, I love this! ::making notes::

Yeah, you don't want to use a title that's already been used, although if it's completely different genres, it doesn't matter as much. Or if the previous book is really old or out of print.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Murder a la Carte?

Used for a series of books on how to stage those murder mystery dinner thingies yourself. Each book in the series has a fictional murder you can stage yourself as part of the dinner party. I think it includes props too.

On edit also used in actual mystery novel

Ooh, I like this, too, but I don't think it gets across the romance as much. And I think Editor is leaning toward more romance, less mystery in the title.
