Only Murders in the Building is one of my absolute favorite shows right now. The comedy trio of Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short is one I cannot emphasize their perfection enough. These amateur sleuths just want to make a true crime podcast without leaving the building they live in - and the results are always hilarious and unexpected. With season 4's debut, I started thinking about mysteries that hit the exact same vibe Only Murders in the Building brings, so I could have the quirky silly mysteries all week long as I wait for the next episode - and these are the ones I felt fit it best.

1. The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell
