Dear Reader, Murder. Treachery. Hidden secrets and... song? In today's article we'll be diving deep into a rather new aspect of storytelling. That can be done not through the bleeding droplets of ink on simple parchment but through song and television. So, without further ado: lights, camera, action! What is Only Murders In the Building?
