Another important aspect of telling a murder mystery story is the setting. The location can be as simple or as complex as you want, but it should be conducive to a good mystery. A dark and stormy night always makes for an atmospheric setting! Once you have decided on the location, be sure to set the scene by providing a detailed description of the surroundings. This will help your guests visualize the scene and get them in the mood for solving a crime!
