I'm clear on your example of cozy mysteries, using crafting or cooking hints in the title. Romances are another example (covers can also give them away) and my genre, police procedural/thriller does as well. My three novels are named after the main crime the characters must solve: By Force or Fear is an element of stalking; Intent to Hold partly defines kidnapping and With Malice Aforethought must be an element present for murder. Most books in my genre have nighttime scenes and emergency lights with caution tape across the cover and are named things like "Code Blue." You know you're getting a police detective story.

Had a title for one book because someone gave it to me, and until the last I didn't know how I was going to make it fit. But I did it. Thanks for visiting, Judy.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.
