Fun fact: In Chapter 7, Vera becomes slightly hysterical at a mention of "our black brothers" which only makes sense in the original version. There have been 3 different versions of the rhyme and 4 different titles for the book in the past. The book was originally published in England as the Ten Little Niggers with the rhyme following that pattern. The American publisher saw the title as to offensive and changed it to And Then There Were None and changed the rhyme to incorporate Indians. Later American printings also used the title Ten Little Indians. Somewhere along the line "Indians" became unacceptable and the all editions printed today use "Ten Little Soldiers" for the rhyme.

My favorite mystery author would be G. K. Chesterton and his Father Brown books.

Then There Were None is tied with The ABC Murders in my favorite books by Agatha Christie.

Haven't really read much besides Christie and Chesterton. Need to finish up the Sherlock Holmes books and Asimov's Robot series :P
