Landlady Paragraph

The Landlady is a Suspense, Realistic Fiction and Mystery story. It is Suspense all way through but the Mystery starts only at 3/4 through. The realistic fiction is also all through the story. 
Suspense:
"Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him"
This is suspense because the reader doesn't know what will happen and not sure what is happening and wants to find out.
"That parrot,” he said at last. “You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive.” “Alas, no longer."
This bit is also suspense because when the reader first sees the animals he may have thought that the animals are alive. It is a shock to find out that the animals are dead and it makes you think what kind of a person is the Landlady.
Mystery:
"Gregory Temple?” he said aloud, searching his memory. “Christopher Mulholland? . . .”
This is mystery because he knows that he remembers these names but can't think of them know. Also he remembers that these names were in the paper but can't remember why. 
"Excuse my asking, but haven’t there been any other guests here except them in the last two or three years?”
This is a mystery because Billy is not sure why there have been only 2 other people in this house for the last 3 years.
Realistic Fiction:
"Billy Weaver had traveled down from London on the slow afternoon train, with a change at Reading on the way, and by the time he got to Bath, it was about nine o’clock in the evening, and the moon was coming up out of a clear starry sky over the houses opposite the station entrance."
This realistic fiction because it is highly possible that there is a person called Billy Weaver and that went on a train to London. The characters are possible to exist.
"Suddenly, in a downstairs window that was brilliantly illuminated by a street lamp not six yards away, Billy caught sight of a printed notice propped up against the glass in one of the upper panes. It said Bed and Breakfast"
This is realistic because again it is possible that there is a accommodation like this in London and that people go to this place to sleep and eat.

I think that these examples prove that the Landlady is a Realistic Fiction, Mystery and Suspense story.
