[PW] Unique Murder Weapons

[Nichael Cramer]

This may not be what you're looking for --it certainly doesn't really
fit in the categories of mysteries, etc-- but as one other source for "unusual
Murder Weapon" stories you might consider any collection of
"Lateral Thinking Problems" that you have.

I mean those stories --which were popular when I was in high school--
where the "teller" states a short, simple premise (e.g. "A man is found dead
in a cabin on the side of a mountain" or "When the music stopped,
the lady died" or "A man lies dead on the floor, next to a small puddle of
water[*]") and it's up to the other folks else to figure out the rest of the
plot by asking (typically yes-or-no) questions.

Weird murder weapons, or other bizarre means of death, are a standard
feature of these stories.

Again, this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I thought
I'd mention it.

[* I'll give the solution to only the last of these to server as an example:
The victim was stabbed to death with a large (frozen) icicle, which was
then left to melt.]
