from the example list:

  • The God Game might be an example. There are at least two voices that tell the story, the main character and the 'author'. I have a vague recollection of a third voice, but the book is in another state and I can't verify.

If somebody knows enough about the work to fill in the missing details and state definitely that it's an example, please write a new example description for it. As it stands, this falls short on multiple criteria of good exampleship.

I pulled these:

  • The narrator of one of In the short stories in Agatha Christie's Miss Marple collection The Tuesday Club Murders tries to pretend it happened to someone else, but everyone immediately sees through that, and the narrator eventually realizes that she was using "I" instead of "she" and gave up the pretense. What she didn't tell them, however, was that she was the mastermind of the crime she was describing, "rehearsing" her plot before she implemented it to find any flaws. Miss Marple figures it out but decides not to betray the storyteller in front of everyone else, though she does give a warning to not go through with the scheme.

  • In the final episode of The Muppet Show (The Gene Kelly episode), The narrator of Veterinarian Hospital and Pigs in Space turns out to be A blue what-not muppet man

In neither of those is the reveal a twist - as soon as Jane Heller starts her story, we're told that everyone else in the Tuesday Club immediately assumed it was her, and the Muppet Show announcer isn't so much "It was him all along!" as "So that's what he looks like."

I'm not sure about Roger Ackroyd either; like "The Affair at the Bungalow" there is a twist, but I don't know if it's exacty this twist.
