Suspense Building

Suspense Building is a narrative technique in mystery fiction that constitutes a deliberate methodological framework for modulating narrative tension through the strategic withholding of information, temporal delay, and the cultivation of uncertainty, thereby distinguishing it from related plot structuring devices by its focused orchestration of reader anticipation and emotional engagement.
