Wake Up Dead Man is the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, crafted with Rian Johnson’s signature touch — but this time, it ventures into a darker, more gothic tone.
We first met Blanc in 2019’s Knives Out, when he was hired to investigate the death of bestselling author Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer). Then Blanc’s skills were called upon once more in Glass Onion, when he headed to Greece to peel back the layers of intrigue surrounding tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) and an eclectic group of disruptors.
