WAKE UP DEAD MAN: KNIVES OUT

Wake Up Dead Man is the third chapter in the Knives Out saga.

After watching Knives Out and Glass Onion,  I couldn’t miss Wake Up Dead Man, but the real spark came after reading Raffa’s review.

Click now and let yourself be drawn in by Raffa’s analysis, which highlights all the reasons why the film is worth watching.

Here, with today’s coffee, I’d like to chat about the element that was love at first sight for me.

At one moment in the film, Detective Benoit Blanc holds a piece of paper in his hands: a list of books.

Not just any list: the parish’s Spring Book Club list, but above all a list of detective novels.

Have you ever been part of a book club or reading group?

These are the titles on the list found in the movie:

The Hollow Man by John Dickson Carr
Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers
The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie

I won’t repeat who for me is the queen: Agatha Christie. 

Are you familiar with the books listed?

What do you notice they have in common?

While we investigate together, I’ll make some coffee 🙂
