Patricia Wentworth Miss silver series is very similar to Miss Marple books. She writes in much the same tone and style. She isn’t as consistent as Agatha Christie in delivering solid mysteries, but there are about 10 books in the series that rival Agatha Christie’s.

Not writing style but in terms of good twists I’d suggest The Only One Left by Riley Sager

Georgette Heyer’s mysteries arethe closest to Christie: Why Shoot a Butler, Detection Unlimited, Death in the Stocks, The Unfinished Clue. There are about a dozen
Other good British Golden age writers: Dorothy Sayers, Margery Allingham, Josephine Tey, Christianna Brand, and Cyril Hare. For more modern P.D. James is probably one of the best

I like the Albert Campion series by Margery Allingham. It gives me Agatha Christie vibes and Campion’s just a really fun character

Dorothy Sayers is my favorite. Try Strong Poison or Murder Must Advertise

Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney and One By One by Ruth Ware are both a modern take on And Then There Were None.
