Carol Berg is a master of the Reveal. She walks you through the mystery until the villain is exposed well before the end of the book. What she does best, that I have not encountered very often, is misdirecting the reader until you don't even know what will be the Great Reveal, but it will steal your breath away and give you chills. It's never something simple, such as the who or why, but something that seems entirely unrelated until the very end, when everything comes together.
