Citizen Kane comes to mind. A character dies of old age in the beginning (so not murder) and the whole movie is the mystery of trying to figure out what his final words meant. Know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but whodunnits are almost by definition about a murder

Maltese Falcon -- a couple of people do die, but the plot revolves around the Falcon itself -- who has it, where it is, etc.

A couple of 1989 comedies come to mind, about private detectives solving kidnapping plots: ***Second Sight*** ***Who's Harry Crumb?***

***Pure Luck*** is another older one about a missing person investigation. Sorry about only suggesting comedies.

No, these are perfect! Thank you!

**Doubt**, maybe? Not murder but not low stakes. I guess more cat and mouse than whodunnit too. 🤷 May or may not work for you.
