Segundo o Guiness Book, Christie é a romancista mais bem sucedida da história da literatura popular mundial em número total de livros vendidos, uma vez que suas obras, juntas, venderam cerca de quatro bilhões de cópias ao longo dos séculos XX e XXI, cujos números totais só ficam atrás das obras vendidas do dramaturgo e poeta William Shakespeare e da Bíblia.

Seu livro mais vendido, Ten Little Niggers , de 1939, é também, com cerca de 100 milhões de cópias comercializadas em todo o globo, a obra de romance policial mais vendida da história, além de figurar na lista dos livros mais vendidos de todos os tempos, independentemente de seu gênero.

Em 1971, foi condecorada pela rainha do Reino Unido, Elizabeth II, com o título de Dama-Comendadora da Ordem do Império Britânico, uma honra que consiste no equivalente feminino ao sir. No total, escreveu setenta e dois romances, sendo sessenta e seis deles do gênero romance policial e inúmeros contos, reunidos em quatorze coletâneas. É constantemente referida por seus emblemáticos personagens, incluindo o detetive belga Hercule Poirot e a idosa detetive amadora Miss Marple. Wikipedia
