Ugh - I'd forgotten about the Bertie Bassett monster! That was very sinister!
There are three or four Agatha Christie's that I think are really quite disturbing, all the more so because they're usually considered "cosy". It tends to be the "novelty" ones like Crooked House or Curtain. There was also a TV adaptation of Nemesis that unsettled me as a child. I think she was quite good at giving her books a near-supernatural feeling of evil floating around, even when it was just one person's actions to blame.
I found this. It's still quite creepy, I think. Those poor people!
