The Landlady is a mystery and suspense story.
This is a mystery:
"such a very great pleasure when now and again I open the door and I see someone standing there who is just exactly right.” (Exactly right- exactly right for what???)
“No, my dear,” she said. “Only you.” (That is mysterious that nobody had come to this Bed and Breakfast in two years.)
This is a mystery because weird and mysterious things happen.
This is also suspense:
"The tea tasted faintly of bitter almonds, and he didn’t much care for it" (Bitter almonds is poison for humans and to other too animals.)
“Oh, it’s the perfect age!" (The landlady is thinking about the perfect age to stuff a human.)
“Five and sixpence a night, including breakfast.” (This is the 'too good to be true' price to lour people in.)
