Welcome to The Sleuthing Silvers

BABY BOOMER DETECTIVES!

Barb and Bernie Silver are a Baby Boomer detective couple, a/k/a the Sleuthing Silvers. Imagine one of the Hardy Boys married to Nancy Drew 50 years later…


They specialize in cases where their age gives them an edge, for example going undercover at a retirement community. Although they live in a Millennial world, they often find a way to deflect remarks like “OK, Boomer” and transform the dismissiveness of younger generations into intergenerational ingenuity.
