Renaming The RTT Killer

A book title is important for attracting readers. “The RTT Killer” doesn’t sound like a title that will motivate a potential, enthusiastic book grabber to rip a paperback copy from the shelf. It doesn’t communicate to reader what is the story between the covers, but how do you express in three or four words that the novel is a humorous tale about a serial killer? Let’s try out a few alternative titles:

“What would you do if one of your three ex-boyfriends was a serial killer? Bridget Jones never had a problem like this.” Not too bad but a little long.

How about:

“Sixteen murder victims and not one of them was my ex mother-in-law.” Sounds like a title that might attract men rather than women. Probably not a good idea since the protagonist is a female cop who has never been married.

There’s also:

“One cop, two computer nerds, and three suspected serial killers, what is a girl to do?” I kind of like that one!

Maybe I should run some kind of contest and give away a signed copy of the book in exchange for suggestions of a new title.

Here’s a synopsis of “The RTT Killer.” Tell me what you think the title should be.

L. A. P. D. Homicide Detective Katelyn Selma Blair has a little problem. Everyone who has ever made a pass at her is being murdered. The prime suspects are her three ex-boyfriends: the paramedic, the assistant district attorney, and the reporter. Things only get worse when two geeky guys show up with a nutty idea and a crazy device that just might work to catch the killer. The end is like something out of a movie with the heroine in danger and help galloping to her rescue. Will she survive? Who is the culprit? Who would have ever thought that a story about a serial killer thriller could be so funny?
