Sleuth is based on a 1970 play written by English writer Anthony Shaffer (1926-2001). Shaffer said the play was partially inspired by one of his friends, composer Stephen Sondheim, whose intense interest in games-playing is mirrored by the character of Wyke.

Three murder mysteries that have gotten big thumbs up by viewers of Sleuth include Un cadáver a los postres (1976) in which five brilliant detectives attempt to solve a murder, Sospechosos habituales (1995) in which five conmen are forced by a mysterious mastermind criminal to pull one more job, and El juego de la sospecha (Cluedo) (1985) in which six dinner guests attempt to solve a murder. Viewers have also recommended almost anything directed by Alfred Hitchcock, as most of his movies are murder mysteries, e.g. La soga (1948), Extraños en un tren (1951), La ventana indiscreta (1954), Crimen perfecto (1954), Vértigo (De entre los muertos) (1958), Con la muerte en los talones (1959), and Psicosis (1960). Also highly recommended is any movie based on an Agatha Christie novel, e.g. Muerte en el Nilo (1978). Other movies that have been mentioned as good murder mysteries include El fin de Sheila (1973), La trampa de la muerte (1982), Chinatown (1974), Mulholland Drive (2001), Carretera perdida (1997), and Terciopelo azul (1986), and Memento (2000). Those should keep you busy for a while.
