While Death Note takes itself more seriously with all the killing and thinking of oneself as god, Hyouka manages to one up it in the mystery department. Death Note has a lot of cool twists and turns so for those who enjoyed trying to guess at what would happen next or something along those lines I would recommend Hyouka. Although it is one of the numerous high school club shows and is therefor basically some sort of slice-of-life it stands alone because of its excellent writing. Every single mystery is solveable by paying close attention but most are too difficult to figure out. The animation

If you liked Oreki's mystery solving in Hyouka then you'll be blown away by the deduction skills of the characters in Death Note. While Hyouka involves solving lighthearted mysteries in highschool, Death Note's mystery follows the path of a murderer. While the characters in Death Note don't exactly solve mysteries, they are masters of deduction, and their conclusions have a similar feel to when the mystery is finally solved in Hyouka. Now Death Note is a much much darker story than Hyouka, but if you enjoy these types of intellectual genius characters then you'll love Death Note.
Both manage to brew up shenanigans that Sherlock himself wouldn't have figured out.

Both of the anime is about mystery or detective.
The different is Hyouka is more normal, while Death Note got Supernatural in it.
Also, Death Note story is more dark than Hyouka because Death Note include some killing while Hyouka include a bit of slice of life without killing.
But overally if you like mystery, puzzle and detective... Death Note and Hyouka would be a perfect anime to watch for you ^^
