Pdurrant -- I think Christie shared your opinion.

"In 1942, Christie wrote to her agent asking him to keep a manuscript in reserve and stated 'I have been, once, in a position where I wanted to write just for the sake of money coming in and when I felt I couldn't – it is a nerve wracking feeling. If I had had one MS 'up my sleeve' it would have made a big difference. That was the time I had to produce that rotten book The Big Four.' [Wikipedia]
