I don't mean murder mystery's in general, but the rapport they have...
Films with very small casts, heavy on dialog with rapier wit and humor and thrills and sharp dialog and whatnot.
Are there any other movies like this?
Try Deathtrap.
shareI think you might be looking for films based on theatre plays.
Sleuth reminded me very much of "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf".
Dial M for Murder (1954) has a small cast and is set, mostly, inside a flat.
I'm afraid I can't think of anything.

Alfred Hitchkocks's "Rope"
Inspired by a real case, murder mystery, Jimmy Stewart.
Done in a SINGLE TAKE!
This is not a spoiler (shown in the very first scene), but its fun to know that the murdered body is hidden under the dinner table as the unknowing guests discuss the theoretical justifications for random murder.
Wonderful!
Rope was done in multiple takes, namely six or seven, not as just one take.

Yeah, those take transitions are hidden quite well by Hitchcock (as would be expected), but when looking attentively, they're fairly easy to spot.
shareYeah, I was able to spot them my second or third time watching it. Some are more obvious than others, but he did mask them well.

Admittedly, I haven't seen Sleuth (but now planning on it) but from the minute bit that I've read here about it and your description of what you're after, you might want to check out Rehearsal For Murder as well.
