As for the ones you have here: I think some of them are a bit specific. For example, "dead body at a house party" certainly describes the classic country house murder à la Agatha Christie and her peers. The obvious North American equivalent would be to relocate to a "weekend at a summer cabin". But might one substitute some other situation with a self-limitingly small set of suspects, such as a convention, school lock-down, Greyhound bus trip, or such? I mean, does it have to be a party per se?
I guess my question is how closely the interpretation needs to cleave to the prompt.
