Halloween Costume Ideas Based on Your Favorite Mystery Books

Halloween is creeping right up on us. Is your costume still a big question mark? All the answers lie within your favorite mystery novels. I put on my houndstooth deerstalker cap, took a few puffs on my pipe, and used my powers of observation and deduction to come up with mystery-themed costumes that could kill at any Halloween party. And since they’re all pretty easy to pull together, you can prep your costume and still have time to get to the twist ending in your current mystery read. I myself am a passionate Halloween person. I put a lot of time and effort into my costume each year. So, of course, I’ve already got my costume carefully crafted and ready to go, right? …right? Okay, no. I don’t. I’m currently freaking out because I haven’t landed on the perfect concept. But coming up with costume ideas for other people is always more fun than figuring out my own.
