How to Use Squibler’s Mystery Title Generator

Need a gripping name for your next whodunit or noir crime novel? Here’s how to get started:

Enter Your Book Description

To get the most out of the generator, simply input a brief description of your mystery novel. Include your main idea, the tone (dark, cozy, gritty, etc.), and specific themes like revenge, hidden identities, or long-buried secrets.

For example: “A modern detective investigates a cold case linked to an old murder aboard the Orient Express.”

Adding other details like the period, setting, or the character’s background can help the AI generate relevant titles with more accuracy. You can even cross over into different genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, or romance.

Click the "Generate" Button

After entering your mystery book description, click the "Generate" button. Squibler’s AI analyzes the input to craft titles that reflect your plot, mood, and setting.

You’ll receive many different options—from suspenseful and chilling to clever and classic. This isn’t just another title mixer. These are custom-tailored mystery titles built to intrigue and hook your audience.

What To Do After Generating a Book Title?

After exploring potential titles, here’s how to keep building your project:

Refine for a Perfect Title

Once you've picked a few strong options, log in to Squibler to edit and refine them. This lets you align the language with your book’s mood, plot, or character arc. For example, if you're creating a book in the vein of Sherlock Holmes, you want to ensure you match the thrilling tone.

Integrate the Title Into Your Manuscript or Pitch

After refining the title, use it in your manuscript, query letter, or pitch deck. A compelling title can attract agents, editors, or readers.

Use the Title as a Springboard to Plan or Outline Your Book

With your mystery title set, you can use Squibler to develop your plot, chapter structure, and character outlines. The right title gives your story structure and clarity, speeding up your process and sparking creative solutions for world-building or pacing.

Save or Share with Your Team

You can save your final title or share it with co-authors, beta readers, or editors. Keep the momentum going as you move from naming to outlining to publishing

Mystery Titles That Work—Without the Guesswork

Your title is the first clue readers get—it needs to be sharp, intriguing, and unforgettable. That’s why our mystery title generator uses AI to craft suspenseful, genre-appropriate titles based on your story premise. Enter a brief description, and let our tool deliver titles that capture the tension, twists, and tone of your mystery.

Why Great Mystery Titles Matter

In the mystery genre, the title is your first clue—and your strongest hook. The best ones suggest mood, tease conflict, or pose a question. Think Gone Girl, Big Little Lies, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo—all evocative.

Squibler helps you create titles that do more than describe—they provoke interest.

How to Know When You've Got the Right Title

Even after receiving a list of strong mystery title options, it's important to validate which one truly fits. Ask yourself:

  • Does the title reflect the story’s tone and genre—suspenseful, clever, or chilling?
  • Will it intrigue potential readers on a bookshelf or search result?
  • Is it easy to pronounce, remember, and spell?
  • Does it feel original, or too close to something already published?


You can also test a shortlist by sharing it with beta readers or writing groups. Choose a title that hints at your twist, elevates curiosity, and matches your central theme. A great mystery title is more than clever—it’s your story’s first breadcrumb.
