Crime scene - do not cross!

I've always wanted to set up a crime scene in the library to promote our detective and crime novels, and this year I finally got my act together and actually did it! The students arrived back from the Easter holidays to police crime scene tape and the chalk outline of a body on the floor - and they were thrilled! Of course, at any given time of the day, a student would have to try out the dead body position, which proved awkward when a family came around for a tour of the school...

Have you tried a similar display? How successful was it?
