I haven't read a lot of mystery, mainly just Christie, Conan Doyle and the Trixie Belden series when I was a kid. My favourite Christie sleuths are Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, then Poirot. It's not that I dislike Miss Marple, I just don't like her as much. I like Sherlock Holmes as a character, but prefer reading Christie because her mysteries are more about the "little grey cells" than physical evidence - you actually have an opportunity to solve the mystery yourself, which you can't with Holmes.
