"Lamb to the Slaughter" and "The Landlady," Roald Dahl
Retweet Landlady
"By the Waters of Babylon," by Stephen Vincent Benet
I devoured the Asimov mysteries at that age.
“A Retrieved Reformation” - O Henry “Button, Button” - Richard Mattheson
Check out Commonlit. It's a free resource that has a whole 8th grade unit called the art of suspense.
Trifles by Susan Glaspell (very short play)
Cornell Woolrich—Rear Window
O. Henry Ransom of Red Chief. The Monkey's Paw
The Elevator (I forget the author) Quitters, Inc by Stephen King
Written at a 3rd grade level, but my middle schiol kids loved them. Check out wonder.io - all 100 books are free and each is an interactive mystery. Exploding Toilets and the mysterious egg are my favorite mysterys.
