Title dilemma
Hallo Everyone,
I'm very proud to say that I have finished a full first draft of my first novel. And, obviously, this is where my problems begin!
The work is a campus novel, with a very strong satirical element, and using a thriller format.
First issue: I'm really not sure about the title. I have four (or perhaps three-and-a-half) possibilities. Could fellow writers please consider the following and give advice? They're listed simply in the order that I thought of them.
1. A Strange Death at the University
2. UNI: A Study of a Death at a Campus
3. The Improbable Remains: A Study of a Death at a University
4. The Improbable Remains
(If I was really skilled I'd attach one of those 'spoiler' things here, but I'm just not that competent. However, I'm sure you'll all recognise that the 'improbable remains' is a reference back to good old Sherlock Holmes: 'when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth'.)
all advice welcome!
N.
