Another one to add to Frustrated's list is where they start out saying that person A is the obvious one to have done it but then all sorts of facile reasons are presented as to why they didn't do it. And the investigator keeps coming back to that; "A must have done it! But no, they couldn't have." And then in the end we find out that A did do it. In one book that did that the murder method was so contorted and unrealistic that I swore off that author forever.
