Description
Detective fiction is one of the most popular narrative genres today. It includes any story that
has a crime and its solution as a central feature of its plot. In detective fictions, suspense plays
a very important role and it supports the development of the plot. This paper focuses on the use
of suspense in the plot development of the detective short story Tape-measure Murder written
by Agatha Christie. The research was carried out to analyse the phases of the plot and to
classify the types of suspense used in the story and to investigate the impact of suspense on the
plot development of the story. In conduction this research, the phases of the plot were analysed
by applying Pyramid Theory proposed by Gustav Freytag (1900) and the types of suspense
occurred in each phase were classified by applying the classification of suspense proposed by
Nino and Tarmar (2013) and Reedsy (2018). According to the research, the use of horrific
suspense is mostly found to express the fact that each occurance of suspense affects the plot to
be more horrific and shocking. It is found out that the use of suspense in the plot development
provides a satisfactory impact on the readers who love detective fictions as it promotes their
critical thinking and problem-solving skills together with the detectives. It is hoped that
detective stories can be used as classroom materials in teaching English Literature.
