Your assessment makes a lot of sense. I definitely don't think you missed anything.
Length is not her forte. I've only read The Haunting of Hill House, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and The Sundial (and, of course, some of the short stories). Brevity really works for her in those, but those are later works and I'd expect them to be the most polished of the bunch.
