Crime Fiction‚ more than any other genre‚ engages the reader through the art of suspense. The short stories “The Red Headed League” written by Arthur Conan Doyle and “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dhal‚ along with the T.V. episode “Third Floor Flat” directed by Christopher Gunning all use suspense to engage their audiences.
