...Knowing "who did it" in a "who done it" really does ruin the experience, just look at the namesake "The Mousetrap" movie. Despite being a better than average film, it did poorly in the box office in part to a movie critic revealing the killer.
What film? Famously, the rights a film of "The Mousetrap" state that no film can be made until the West End production has been closed for 6 months (presumably, to avoid revealing the secret). Since the play is still running, no film has been made. The filmmakers have been waiting so long that the producer who made the original deal died almost 10 years ago!
