The problem of what prompted the recent resurgence of Whodunits is actually a Whodunit in itself.
What is the reason for the sudden popularity of the American drama "Murder in the Mansion"? 2019 box office blockbuster "Operation Wilderness" released? Kenneth Branagh's reimagining of Hercule Poirot? Or does the ongoing sale of Agatha Christie's novel indicate that the detective never left from the beginning?
The only thing we can really be sure of is that the person in the living room is not Colonel Mustad.
Whatever the reason, they are certainly big business at the moment. Netflix reportedly paid $450 million (£376 million) for the rights to two Wilderness Ops sequels, the first of which was released on Friday.
The original Wilderness Ops film stars Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc and Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis and Annala de Armas in her breakthrough roles.
Old-fashioned but innovative murder suspense in cinema.
It's an old-fashioned but innovative murder suspense film, not the kind of landfill superhero movies or sci-fi blockbusters that have taken the box office by storm in recent years. However, that's exactly what it did – it cost $313 million (£255 million).
Starring brand new actors other than Craig, Glass Onion is the first of many sequels. Its writer and director, Ryan Johnson, was not surprised by the enduring popularity of detective troops.
"It makes sense to me because it's always attracted to the genre. "What's not to love? You have a rogue gallery full of funny characters, you have a charismatic core detective, you have intrigue, you have mystery, comedy, and human drama, all the ingredients are there.
"For me, I'm a detective fan, I'm in heaven right now, in fact, more and more things, geniuses like Steve Martin are now writing suspense novels, and for me, that's heaven. “
