    Proving Adultery had taken place as that was the only grounds for a divorce in the 20's!

    Whatever they were hired to investigate.

    Read the stories of Sherlock Holmes or better still, watch the BBC series, "The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes." It is the dramatization of stories written by other authors a the same time.

    You can find the stories and authors over on Wikipedia. Good luck.
