Have a little read: ... Discuss how suspense and tension are created in 'Lamb to the Slaughter' and 'The Speckled Band' Both 'Lamb to the Slaughter' and 'The Speckled Band' are detective stories but on the one hand 'The Speckled Band' follows the classic elements of a detective story, while on the other hand 'Lamb to the Slaughter' follows a more unorthodox pattern. Both stories keep the reader on edge, this essay will examine how. Both start off creating suspense. 'Lamb to the Slaughter' is about a pregnant woman called Mary Maloney who kills her husband because he tells her something he had done wrong. Mary doesn't know what to do and because of the anger inside her she hits him with a leg of lamb, which she was going to make for supper with, and kills him. Then she puts the lamb in the oven. As a wife of a police officer, she goes to the grocers
