So, with that said, I borrowed The Mysterious Affair at Styles and have finished reading it.

Convoluted is a word that comes to mind. At this point I neither love Christie nor hate her, and will likely read one or two more books to better feel one way or the other.
Yes, convoluted plots. Surely watching Murder on the Orient Express would have told you that!

Try "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd".
