So my copies tend to have the original titles, and indeed some may be duplicates that were reissued under new names -- I didn't check them, I just counted from end to end of the shelf. I also have a complete Dorothy L. Sayers, D.K. Broster (acquired via rare book sellers in the days before the Internet) and Mary Stewart...
I think I probably have read all the Agatha Christies, but not more than once if so, and they tend not to leave much impression -- so when I pull one off the shelf I can't remember who did it ;-p
Some I definitely like less than others (the ones she wrote very late in life tend to be unsatisfactory, not least because she wasn't really in touch with present-day culture at that point, so the attempts at being up to date feel like window dressing). The ones I remember are the obvious tricksy ones, like "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" and "Murder on the Orient Express", and those are not really my favourites.
