Both stories were written by Roald Dahl and are equally interesting to read.
There are a few similarities between the two stories. Both Mrs Maloney and Mrs Foster were very faithful and loved their own husbands very much. However, the two husbands were killed at the end of the story because of something they did to their wife. It may sound a little weird to you but this makes you want to read the stories because it sounds interesting, am I right?
I personally prefer the story 'The Way Up to Heaven' because of two points. Firstly, Mrs Maloney killed Mr Maloney in a more direct way using a frozen lamb leg while Mrs Foster just left Mr Foster stuck in a lift in their house while she goes away for a 6-week holiday to Paris as if nothing happened. Secondly, in the story, Roald Dahl did not mention that Mr Foster has died. This is indeed very interesting as I have never encountered such a story.
P.S. This is also required in this blog and I will be posting posts like this one from time to time.

I agree that your summary definitely piques my interest. You make me want to read the book, I am just stating from a strangers point of view as I read the book already. Indeed, Roald Dahl did not mention that Mr Foster had died. Roald Dahl used a special description, the bad odour and unread letters left on the floor, to describe Mr Foster's death.

The topic you were supposed to post about was the similarities between TWUTH and LTTS. However, you did well for the summary of TWUTH and why you prefer TWUTH. As I read on I realised you did have some differences, but they were still not similarities.
