I'm probably at Great Expectations, with a close fight for second between A Tale of Two Cities and David Copperfield.
Little question he really hit his stride (I think these were all serials) from May 1949 through August 1861 - his late 30s through late 40s - when he wrote Copperfield, Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, ATOTC, and Great Expectations. That would be a lesser novelist's entire career - and not nearly as good.

He wrote that under a pseudonym - through a medium - 67 years after his death.

A Tale of Two Cities.
Too much of it is almost sheer poetry. The page about how Monsieur Everymonde needed five servants for his chocolate said it all.
