A mystery novel trope where the last moments of a murder victim interacting with the murderer (almost always with the words "Oh, it's you" to show that the murderer is someone they know and don't suspect) are seen by the audience, but without revealing who the murderer is. Only really works in novels where the voice won't be identified.
