Can anybody recommend some good mysteries?

So, I'm on a bit of a mystery kick. I've only read a few, probably one of my favorites being "Kiss Me, Judas" by Will Christopher Baer. I just finished a couple by Carl Hiaason, and was hoping somebody could drop me some names I could check out, maybe in the vain of those two authors, but really any good suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I'd recommend the "Heart-Shaped Box". It's a pretty intense book. I found myself reading it until like 4,5,6 in the morning. I couldn't put it down. At first it starts off a bit slow (like Watership Down) but it picks up pretty quickly. It has a lot of twists (but not too many ) and it leaves you wanting more.
 
You could always try Tamar Myers. She has two series, one featuring an antiques dealer and the other a Menonite (sp?) woman who runs an inn. Both are hilarious and have excellent characters, and it's often impossible to predict the solution of the mystery/murder until the very last second. Highly enjoyable reads.

A lot of people have suggested Clive Cussler (apparently a sort of National Treasure writer: lost artifact, racing against the bad guys to get it back, sorta thing) and Sue Grafton, but I've not read either of them so I can't really vouch for them.

Hope that helps!
