Guys, a question: detective novels, whodunnits, crime fiction, or the like (I never know my way around this terminology, to be sure), in which the narrator and/or other main POV character dunnit? I don't mean so much the Tom Ripley type as the [title of a rather classic example redacted to avoid spoiling it in case it's not common knowledge after all] type, that is, the sort where there is a revelation or twist or a denouement in the library or, well, what have you (or the reader pretends that there is one, even though everything was painfully obvious all along, etc). I can only think of the one (no, wait, two, of course (in comments, spoiling your denouements!)) right now, though I'm pretty sure I've read others (and seen others? in movies?), too, and really convinced that there must be quite a few out there. Would be muchly appreciated!

My two obvious examples being Christie's Endless Night & The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, obviously.

I was going to go for Christie too but you'd covered that.

And then I'm all out. Unless you count the Scooby Doo live action movie where Scrappy Doo'd dunnit. But *reads description* no you don't.

Oh, Se7en.
