One of the weirder murders was in “The Nine Tailors” by Dorothy L Sayers, featuring Lord Peter Wimsey and much church bell ringing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Tailors
Sayers also wrote a short story for Six Against the Yard, a collection in which crime writers described their "perfect murder" and a recently-retired Detective Superintendent described how he would have solved them. Sayers' "murder" was the only one which he said he couldn't have- because he can't be sure that a murder was, in fact, committed.
