Hmm... I didn't think of these as locked room mysteries, unless we define it very loosely.

John Dickson Carr is a master of this subgenre, yes. I have a weakness for The Mystery of the Yellow Room, by Gaston Leroux.

If you are a hardcore fan of locked room mysteries, you should consider buying these terrific bibliographies:
Locked Room Murders (Second Edition, Revised), by Robert Adey
Locked Room Murders Supplement, by Brian Skupin
