If I were the writer and I really wanted to shock the readers I'd rather introduce a twist that no one even suspected about. I mean not a revelation related to something they've been speculated and were supposed to solve. If you do that they'll feel betrayed because they've spent a lot of time trying to reason about something that couldn't be foreseen in any way.

Then it's better to add a twist about something they never speculated about and whom they were never enticed to reason about, something that they just took for granted and has no real relevance to what they were supposed to solve but it still has a deep impact on the plot.

That's what I would do...
Just imagine the Hideyoshi sprite in a Beatrice dress.
