How do you write murder mysteries?

I m trying to write a thriller right now where someone is trying to kill the main character in elaborate ways without leaving a trace. But I have no idea how to come up with creative methods of death. Nothing comes to me when I try to come up with ideas. This always happens when I try to write mysteries and I end up quitting. I want to finally finish writing one. The main character of this novel is a mystery novelist and the killer uses crimes from his novels against him. How do you plan out murders?
