The question of what caused the Whodunits recent resurgence is practically a Whodunit unto itself.
Is the American TV series Only Murders In The Building behind their sudden popularity? Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club novels? The reinvention of Hercule Poirot by Kenneth Branagh? Or do the continued sales of Agatha Christie novels show that Whodunits never left in the first place?
The only thing we can really be sure of is that it wasn't Colonel Mustard in the living room.
Whatever the cause, they are definitely big companies right now. Netflix has reportedly paid $450m (£376m) for the rights to two Knives Out sequels, the first of which, Glass Onion, is released on Friday.
The original Knives Out movie starred Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc, alongside Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas in his breakout role.
