As far as the classics go, I really enjoyed recently reading Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express." It's a really well-structured story and the characters are very interesting as well. I actually already knew something about the basics of the ending of the story going in, but even with that, I still quite liked the story. For more recent stuff, I am a big fan of Lilian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who..." series, though the more recent ones of those unfortunately aren't very good. And Donna Andrews is really talented. She goes for a sort of screwball comedy / mystery type, with "Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon" probably being the best of her works.
