Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Agatha Christie's works, especially Hercule Poirot mysteries
Umberto Eco's works, such as 'In the Name of the Rose'
Maltese Falcon by Dashiel Hammett
Maisie Dobbs mysteries, Nero Wolf mysteries, Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason mysteries, are all well known, though Erle Stanley Gardner would likely be considered more popular than literary.

Sherlock Holmes, stories by Edgar Allan Poe, Perry Mason, Agatha Christie's books, and for the younger set the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.
Sherlock Holmes wins hands down for name recognition and is usually the first someone will mention with Agatha Christie being next.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Charles Dickens died before he finished it, so it really has remained a mystery. Lots of people have put together the clues and tried to figure out who the killer is, but no one will ever know for sure.

I agree with the others. Definitively the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie novels.
