Both the stories Lamb to the Slaughter and The way up to Heaven are by Road Dahl and have a few differences, though the main content is the same.
Firstly, Mrs Maloney killed her husband using a frozen leg of lamb in Lamb to the Slaughter, but Mrs Foster did not kill her husband directly;she only left him to die in the lift.
Secondly, Mrs Maloney killed her husband because of the negetive news he gave her but Mrs Foster let her husband die because she found out he was deceiving her.
Yes, thats true, the murder was indirect for The Way up to Heaven while for Lamb to the Slaughter, it was quite direct. Just a point I want to ask, what story do you prefer. Lamb to the Slaughter was probably mroe interesting and appealing to you(as said in my blog comments),as Roald Dalh described the scene of events in such a peculiar way that it makes it all interesting. But I prefer The Way up to Heaven as the plan is quite well planned by Mrs Foster although it is on-the-spot planning.
