There is not a whole lot of intrigue or mystery to be had here. The general solution to the decades-old mystery of the man in the glass coffin is pretty obvious early on; and—when the specifics are actually revealed—it’s not all that shocking or surprising.
The solution to the present-day murder is likewise not all that suspenseful or shocking either…ho, hum.
Picture Them Dead suffers from a failing that is all too common in contemporary ‘cozy’ mystery series…there is not a whole lot of detecting going on.
