Bron's house is an amazing contraption, with a glass dome on top, named The Glass Onion in homage to their old bar. Despite the elaborate setting, the film is shot in the straightforward style of a television mystery. Bron has Matisse and Degas paintings everywhere, and even the actual Mona Lisa, or so he says.

He can appear bumbling on occasions but in no doubt has a brilliant mind, as he was able to tell right away that Marta Cabrera had something to do with Harlan's death. He nevertheless trusted her, to the point of enlisting her help in the investigation, as he approached the case more concerned with who anonymously hired him.
