‘Only Murders in the Building’ returns with a murder victim too close to home

By Chiara Piacentini | Sep. 6

The murder mystery drama has picked up where it left off in season four of “Only Murders in the Building.” Charles-Haden Savage and his partners in crime, Mabel Mora and Oliver Putnam, are pulled into the depths of another murder case. As their true crime podcast, “Only Murders in the Building,” is part of the show and has covered three seasons worth of murders, we can only expect an additional plot-twisting season will be added to the series.
