How is Agatha Christie? Is she actually a good mystery writer?

I got into Christie through watching the Poirot series with David Suchet, and read most every title I could get in the library. I found nearly everything entertaining enough to recommend, but it's mainly because her character interaction amuses me more than the mysteries themselves. Poirot is quite funny, although you may want to stay away from The Big Four where he turns into bizarro James Bond.

She wrote some standalone mystery novels that are excellent, and you should perhaps start with these two:
And Then There Were None - a bunch of people end up stranded on an island and vanish one by one.
Endless Night - guy builds a house, bad things happen.

I loved them, and there's a wonderful classic air hanging about. :)
