The two "Noir-est" I've ever played are Black Dahlia and Still Life. The former is much more puzzle oriented, and, at times will drive you to distraction. There is an excellent WT for BD. At times it is necessary just to move on.
SL is very good, but a bit easier on the puzzles. And let's not forget Scratches, which I think fits the genre as well.
