Spoofing suspense thrillers and murder mysteries has long been a pastime of playwrights and screenwriters, each skewering the genres in slightly different ways. Neil Simon filled a country manor with famous literary detectives in "Murder by Death." Tom Stoppard wrote a whodunit-within-a-whodunit in "The Real Inspector Hound."
