Wake Up Dead Man is by far the most serious of the Benoit Blanc mysteries, with just a few expert gags here and there around questions of faith and the positive and negative effects of religion. This swings away from the broader sillier
Glass Onion and past
Knives Out in tone. It still has funny-accent-detective fun but the standout scene for me is a serious dramatic one that Blanc is off to one side of.
And I halfway figured it out pretty quickly, but only halfway. I think it plays fair with showing some clues without emphasising them as well.
