I've noticed that several times I'll get a twist in my mystery that mentions the name of a supposed suspect, but that suspect does not appear on my list of suspects, although they will appear later - at leaset I know sometimes they do . . . I don't always pay attention.

Are the twists totally unrelated to the mystery I'm working on and it's just a coincidence if the name is actually one of my suspects? If not, I find it a little strange that they would you give the name of someone who isn't even on your list yet.

Jesse is correct. There is one twist that adds a suspect automatically. And you do still have to find a motive in order to accuse that suspect.

Yet it still stands that there is no bearing on whether this suspect is the guilty one or not.
