I also like 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl. A wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then calmly cooks it while the police come to investigate. The suspense builds as the reader wonders if she will be caught, especially when the police are eating the very weapon she used.
A good one is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. In a seemingly ordinary small town, the annual lottery takes a dark turn. As the story progresses, you wonder what this lottery is really about. The unexpected and cruel ending is full of suspense and makes you question the nature of the town's traditions.
One that stands out is 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides. The story has a great blend of a psychological mystery and a sort of unspoken romantic tension. Also, 'Big Little Lies' by Liane Moriarty has a web of lies and secrets among the characters that are connected to both their relationships and a suspenseful event that happened at a school event. The romantic aspects are interwoven with the mystery and the power dynamics between the characters.
Sure. 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe is a great one. It's about a narrator who tries to convince the reader of his sanity while describing how he murdered an old man because of his 'evil eye'. The suspense builds as he hides the body and then hears the heart still beating, driving him to confess in the end.
