Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

How do you find the perfect title for your book? For my Kristen Conner Mystery Series I discovered the first title while listening to the radio: Cuts Like a Knife. When I started outlining the second novel, which dealt with online dating and obsession, Every Breath You Take made it two books in a row that matched up with a great 80s song. The third novel? Still haven’t found what I’m looking for? Or cold as ice?
