It's possible, but it feels like too much of a stretch. But to be honest maybe Ryuukishi just felt like quoting random novels. Most of the novels he quoted are out of print(at least in the west), so he sure did his homework. Seriously some of the ones he quoted are so obscure that you can't even find it online, without looking hard. I don't believe Ellery Queen and Ngaio Marsh got translated in Japanese very often, but they could have.
Either way I have to say I was impressed with his quotations. They could be just obscure references that only 3 people in the world will get or clues. Either way I'm one of those 3 people so I'm happy.
