The hit comedy-mystery series Only Murders in the Building owes much of its success to something more than its stellar cast led by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. In its third season, the Hulu whodunit has been a hit with critics and audiences alike because it works on different levels. As a murder mystery, it uses many of the genre's reliable tropes to present clues to the audience while misdirecting them. As a comedy, it utilizes wit and humor, but also subverts many of those same storytelling devices that mystery series have come to depend on. One such trope could distinguish Only Murders in the Building Season 3 from its previous seasons.
