An elegant romp throughout the streets of old Venice when Opera was king and wigs and masks, standard attire. Again Beverle creates a convincing world with the textures of the time. I was at once absorbed into the setting and enthralled with the story. How she weaves the details with time and place is a master class in Historical Novel writing.

The depth and consistency of the characters makes this an easy read. Her language and writing are so good they become another character. Can't say enough good things about this last Tito other than, come back soon. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I really enjoy this series.

Kindle Feature Spotlight

Watching as Tito Amato, Venice's celebrated castrato, grow from a young man who is a bit unsure of himself and taken with the rich life of an opera star to a seasoned veteran with harsh life experiences under his belt has been fascinating. Now in his thirties and looking for a way to support himself and his family, Tito finds himself under the wing of Maestro Torani. Wanting to follow in his mentor's footsteps and help bring the Teatro San Marco back into the spotlight, Tito finds that murder, politics and the opera are sometimes too well mixed.

I'm always glad to join Tito, see Venice through his eyes, and root for him to solve the latest murder mystery and make things right for his family and friends. The series has been consistantly good, and the mysteries interesting. Along with a view of Venice from the eyes of someone who loves it, but makes no excuses for it's dark side.

This novel is at once a neatly plotted mystery and a lacy confection worthy of the Baroque in gilded, dissolute Venice. The writing is so smooth as to become rapidly invisible, leaving me immersed in the world of Tito Amato: The secondary characters are well rounded and believable. The investigation of a dire crime at Tito's first opera job is motivated and convincingly conducted. It was not necessary to know anything about opera, and very little about Venice, to follow this tale, but I learned quite a bit about both without being at all distracted from Tito's travails.

A wonderful book, and highly recommended to historical mystery readers and those looking for a solid mystery outside the usual. One person found this helpful.

I do hope the author reconsiders and has a change of heart and writes more Tito Amato stories. These characters are too precious to just let go of.

I love murder mysteries and the settings, history, traditions associated with these stories is priceless. Myers, please do reconsider and resurrect Tito. I have enjoyed the previous books in this series and this one did not disappoint. Myers gives a fine picture of the Venice of the time and I love her hero "Tito Amato" who never fails to win my sympathies as he works his way thru the maze of the society and the culture in which he finds himself. Have read all the books in this series and enjoyed them.

Published on April 28, Tito making friends with Florino!! I'm heading on to the third book next, so I guess we'll see if this ever gets resolved!

The trail leads Tito to the painter's body, into the Jewish ghetto and on the trail of a masked figure who is the head of a mysterious cult.

Amato is a wonderful, realistic character, surrounded by the cast of the opera and his family. But we are also shown the dark and unpleasant side of this period and city and it's people.

Painted Veil: The Second Baroque Mystery Audiobook Written By Beverle Graves Myers

The story seems to start with a fairly simple mystery and lots of suspects, but soon turns into something much darker and more complex. This is a wonderful mix of music, mystery and history. Dec 26, Anne Hawn Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: Tito Amato has gotten cocky. His talent is enormous, but he has not been giving his best and his delivery has gotten sloppy.

Suddenly an guest Castrati appears and Tito is forced to take supporting roles. This is especially galling because the young man is something of a "sacred monster" and lives up to the Diva reputation of the profession.

When the talented scene painter of the company is found dead, Tito is only too glad to do some sleuthing himself and hopefully to get back into the good graces of the Opera owner and producer. Why does a man with the mask of the Plague Raven keep showing up and who is he? Tito and his English friend Augustus "Gussie" Rumbolt are determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Jul 17, Linda rated it really liked it Shelves: Painted Veil is a mild little mystery, fun to read because of its setting, its period detail, and its glimpse into the Baroque world of opera. Hystrionic divas, hysterical directors, a castrato who rested too long on his laurels, down-at-the-heels aristocrats - the book is peppered with colorful characters.

Myers' treatment of the Jewish people in Venice is also quite authentic. The pace of the action is less than breathless, but Painted Veil does make a good summer read. Aug 14, Anita rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book, second in the series, has gotten me ever more deeply addicted to the story of Tito and his personal and operatic adventures. Beyond that, the aura of setting, history and people - all combine to leave you in shock when you look up and find yourself in 21st Century America. Sep 08, Elly Wendy rated it liked it. A historical mystery set in Venice.

It's the second book in a series and I would absolutely go back and read the first one.
