Agatha Christie is much better with full length novels. That way she can properly build suspense and drama. When the stories are only 20-30 pages, the crime or situation has to be quickly setup and resolved without much investment in the characters.

With that being said, the stories are good, with clever endings, but they are not as good as some of her full length novels such as And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.
