Frances Hardinge's Cuckoo Song has a pretty good twist 1/3-1/2 of the way through that makes you re-evaluate the preceding pages through its prism, but it doesn't shift the genre, which remains Gothic.
In Toni Morrison's Beloved, you don't find out the way Sethe's baby girl died until about 2/3 of the way through. The first time I taught it, I had my students stop right before that for the first class, and the revelation for the next class completely blew their minds.
