Thrillers never were Christie's strong point: she should have stuck to detective stories. Her thrillers always have wildly improbably plots, with a resolution that arises as the result of some fantastic coincidence. I agree with you entirely about the "Tommy and Tuppence" books.
If you haven't read the other Christie book I mentioned, "Endless Night", I strongly urge you to do so. It's one of the very best of her books, to my mind, with a real "sting in the tail" ending.
