Agatha Christie also has some short mystery stories that could fit. For example, 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding'. It's a short but engaging mystery set during the Christmas season. There are hidden motives, unexpected twists, and Christie's signature clever plotting all within a few pages.
One great 2 - page short mystery story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's a classic that builds intense suspense in a short space. The narrator's descent into madness over the old man's 'vulture - like' eye is both creepy and captivating.
Another is 'The Red - Headed League' by Arthur Conan Doyle. In just a couple of pages, Doyle manages to create a puzzling situation. A man is hired for a strange job because of his red hair, and Sherlock Holmes has to figure out the real motives behind it. It has all the elements of a great mystery - strange circumstances and a brilliant detective's deductions.
