my first thought was a crossbow that shot ice-quarrels

That's a pretty nice idea.
I like the thought of making a gigantic ice-hammer.

That would
also work. I took the lazy approach and just decided on a block of ice, my murder might not be pre-meditated so I may have to act in a hurry... a block'll have to do!

You need to make ice quarrels
with a mercury core so that they are more lethal.

would leave mercury in the victim
I guess though, if you are properly disposing of the body you don't need to worry.

That will only confuse the police
because how the hell would you get mercury into the victim?

You should read a big boy did it and ran away by Christopher Brookmyre. He actually came up with teh mercury core idea and I stole it.

Start at the beginning
with Quite Ugly One Morning, then carry on through in the order they were written.

They do actually all link in together, apart from "All Fun and Games" and "A Tale Told in Blood"
