I have pretty mixed feelings about her, to say the least. Her politics are repugnant in every single possible way, and they drip into her books unpleasantly, but her mysteries are easily among the greatest.

I like Christie. I remember there are some politically unpleasant things in the earlier novels but I can't help being a little charmed by the old school-conservatism. I think accusing her of racism is a tad anachronistic and not something I'd hold against the books.

She was also quite anti-semitic; I remember reading The Mystery of the Blue Train and being struck by how discriminatory her descriptions were.
