Ow, my head. A paper on Umberto Eco, which is having a fair go at doing my brain in altogether. I think I'll leave it for later.

Back in high school, a friend of mine who loved to set herself difficult projects decided to do an English paper on Umberto Eco.

I mentioned that my mother had been amused that (spoiler!) the murderer in The Name of the Rose (which I'd seen as a movie) was the librarian.

"Thanks a lot," she snapped.

"But... but you said you'd finished reading it!"

"I did. I still hadn't figured it out."

But ... but ... he's explicitly unmasked. As in, they ask him why he did it, and he explains his diabolical motives in too much detail. Looks like your friend may have finished reading it without getting to the end.
