Best Answer

There are a lot of good answers to this question, but perhaps you should think of what others take an interest to. Some people enjoy murder stories, a sort of who did it. But also, some enjoy a sort of robbery. Depends on what you are comfortable writing.

Any idea that is interesting to you will be a good topic - you can't depend on some anonymous person on the internet to write your mystery story for you. You'd get bored and quit if you tried that. Here's a link to show you how writers get their ideas.

Joyce Carol Oates said it best: "The first sentence can't be written until the final sentence is written."

Worry about finishing your story, not about writing the perfect opening sentence! You can change anything you like once you've finished -- go back and think of a great first sentence then, instead of waiting for some magical "first sentence" to fall out of the sky and hit you in the head.

Start where the action starts. If you have a mystery story, start when the mystery occurs -- a murder, a theft, or whatever you want to write about.

Now get off the internet and go finish that story!
