Beverle Graves Myers

 Welcome! 

My Tito Amato Mysteries  follow the career of an 18th-century castrato singer with a generous heart and a well-developed nose for justice. In Tito's world, music and murder make a deadly duet as the Venetian Empire slowly expires in a blazing carnival of intrigue and pleasure. While I work on book #6, get a taste of the series on my Book Trailer page.

I'm also delighted to announce the start of a new series co-written with fellow mystery author, Joanne Dobson. Face of the Enemy, slated for publication in September 2012, is the first novel in the New York in Wartime series. As World War II transforms New York City, a seasoned homicide detective and two young women, a nurse and a reporter, encounter the best and worst the uneasy city has to offer. Sacrifice and true patriotism are offset by racial paranoia, political intrigue, sabotage, profiteering, and, of course, murder. 

"The real accomplishment of Myers is her rendering of 18th-century Venice."

            --Kirkus Reviews on Her Deadly Mischief

"Myers sets the stage beautifully, and her Tito Amato is an enduringly sympathetic character."

            --Alfred Hitchcock Magazine on Cruel Music

"An accomplished historical novel that's also a classic country-house mystery."

            --Kirkus Reviews on The Iron Tongue of Midnight
