"The ending to this play version is a crime and a slap in the face to Agatha."
It doesn't seem like you know the history of And Then There Were None being adapted. Christie was very pleased with the book, but she also wrote the screenplay for the theater. She felt the original ending wasn't appropriate for stage, and since the Ten Little Indians' poems has multiple versions, she changed it to Vera and Philip falling in love and escaping. She was very happy with this version too and thought it did well on stage. This adaptation was used for film and stage up until 2005.
The ending wasn't changed to surprise anyone, and Christie liked it herself, so hardly a slap in her own face.
