First a couple point and click adventure games.

A Case of the Crabs:

(and it's more polished sequel)
The Goat in the Grey Fedora:
http://www.otterarchives.com/bounty2/index.html

Death Wears a Tophat:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/151281
It's not much of a game, but 10 outa 10 for atmosphere. ... Okay, maybe it's just that I absolutely love the background song -It's "Cry me a river" by Julie London, the best torch song ever recoded. EVER! Even better than Jessica Rabbit's "Why Don't You Do Right."

Here's one set in 1929 in Egypt (I actually found it googling based on another sleuther briefly mentioning it)

(Also from the BBC)
The 7 Noble Kinsmen.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/shakespeare/game.shtml

And finally a neat game that is about the time period rather than a detective mystery.
Mind Your Manners! - The Roaring Twenties:

That Death in Sakkara makes great backround music for Sleuth. I'm on chapter 4 and I can't get the tiles...grrr...

I know The Crims. It's a brasilian game, but you can change the language. Acess http://www.thecrims.com to play.

There's this one mystery game called 'Murder Manor' at www.nerdbucket.com
But its totally opposite to sleuth.
