She had a few klunkers, especially early (The Big Four) and late (Elephants can Remember) in her career, but most of them are cracking good yarns, as they say.

My two favorites: The Mirror Crack'd and Crooked House

When they finally adapted The Big Four, for the David Suchet version... Well, it's one of the most interesting adaptations of a book to screen I've seen. Very different, but imo, very good changes.

I absolutely love Elephants can Remember! But I completely agree about The Big Four. My two favorites are Crooked House and Towards Zero. :)

I love Towards Zero and Crooked House. I also love Nemesis, Sleeping Murder and 5 Little Pigs. She's endlessly inventive and quite remorseless.

Five Little Pigs is my all time favorite. It does not scream out at you the way And Then There Were None and Orient Express and others do, but it its own quiet way, it is its own masterpiece.

Crooked House is an underrated gem. One of those books where if you reread it, it seems so obvious but on the first read there’s no way
