The best mystery story I have ever read would be The Pit and the Pendulum by Edger allan poe. I just recently read it in are mystery unit in languege arts. What I really enjoyed was how the story ended. He kept you thinking.



I walked into his room, and saw him. Dead, lying in a puddle of blood. What was I to do? Would I be a suspect? I had to do something.
