Back to Sleuthing

A "sleuth" is commonly used to refer to a detective or someone who investigates mysteries, especially in a skillful and resourceful manner. The term is often associated with fictional detectives, like Sherlock Holmes, but it can also describe anyone who is adept at uncovering information or solving problems, whether professionally or as a hobby. The word originally comes from "sleuth-hound," a type of dog used for tracking, and over time, it became associated with human detectives. get sleuthing and check out these titles
