Actually, around half her full-length novels are post-World War II (especially the Miss Marples series, which goes right into the 1970s). And most of the others date from the 30s and 40s.
But, yes, you're right that the language hasn't changed much. She uses a very straightforward form of English, and it should hold no special difficulties for non-native English speakers.
