Yes, that's the reason I like to read authors' books in order, because it is interesting to see how they evolve over the years. In recent years, I've read Allingham, Marsh, Sayers and Christie that way and it's been illuminating. I've found Sayers and Christie to be authors whose work has stood the test of time; Allingham and Marsh perhaps less so.
