Now, Scott Bailey posted some chapter titles from his current WiP, so I figured, why not do the same.
Yes, Robyn, I'm stealing ideas from somebody. No, not stealing, just borrowing a bit of genius.
Now, here are some of the titles in random order
- The Bitch of Belle Meade
- Dinner with Mumsy
- The Married Detective
- Sensory Overload
- The Moral Soapbox of the Hopelessly Deluded
- Afternoon Tea with a Crazy Man
- The Pink Pigeon
- Detective Abworks Loses His Patience
- Not the Cleverest Idea in the Universe
- Pandora's in a Mood
- Confession is Good for the Soul
- It's Raining Men
Now, in chronological order, at a glance, at least to me, the chapter titles tell something about the story. Heck, even out of order, at least to me, the chapters tell a story.

Two things I never read at the beginning of a chapter: titles and quotes. Like prologues, they're usually unnecessary.
Stina - I always read the quotes and/or chapter titles. I'm crazy like that sometimes. For me, the titles are, at this point in the MS, more a map showing me the plot points from beginning to end. By the final draft, the titles may still be there, or they may disappear. : )
