What is Agatha Christie's best novel?

Although I have not read it 'And then there were none' is said to be her best novel. 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' is her most controversial and also one of her best.

Among her works that I've read so far.. I would say "the big four" as her best...followed by "why didn't they asked evans" and "and then there were none"...I also enjoyed reading "the secret of chimneys" ^_^

While there has been much debate, without doubt Murder on the Orient Express is her most famous. It is my favourite a sheer thriller.
