And right at the end we are told that one of the suspects has a twin or is in some other way related to one of the other victims. You know, that 'last bit of info the author withholds' trope. I hate that.

What about the old chestnut about the isolated house being haunted? Or that someone has escaped from a local secure prison/hospital?
