“A Sneak Peek into the Plot of “La Libreria dei Gatti Neri”
La “Libreria dei Gatti Neri” di Piergiorgio Pulixi è un cozy mystery che combina nostalgia e modernità, perfetto per studenti di lingua e amanti dei gialli. Ambientato nella libreria “Les Chats Noirs” di Cagliari, gestita dal burbero ma affascinante Marzio Montecristo, la storia prende il nome da due gatti neri, Miss Marple e Poirot, residenti del negozio.

Set in the bookstore Les Chats Noirs in Cagliari, it’s run by the gruff yet charming Marzio Montecristo and named after its resident black cats, Miss Marple and Poirot.
Nonostante il carattere spigoloso di Montecristo, “Les Chats Noirs” è amato grazie alla giovane assistente Patricia, che smussa i suoi spigoli. Il club del libro, gli “Investigatori del martedì,” riunisce esperti di narrativa poliziesca per discutere il romanzo della settimana, creando un gruppo affiatato con Montecristo al centro.
Despite Montecristo’s prickly nature, Les Chats Noirs is beloved, thanks to his assistant Patricia. The “Tuesday Detectives” book club gathers crime fiction experts to discuss weekly novels, forming a tight-knit group with Montecristo at its heart.
Dopo aver risolto un caso impossibile, la Sovrintendente Angela Dimase chiede agli “Investigatori del martedì” di aiutarla con un nuovo enigma: l’“Assassino della Clessidra”. Questo killer sadico lascia una clessidra sulla scena del crimine, sfidando il gruppo a fermarlo prima che colpisca di nuovo.

New Children’s Book “Sofia, la Piccola Matta Teaches Italian” by Melissa Muldoon!
Written for children, but my adult students are also enjoying this book!
Why? Because it includes important lessons on pronunciation and introduces Italian grammar in a simplified way. Interwoven with these educational elements are charming stories about Sofia, an eight-year-old girl, and her Beagle, Moka, who help their new American friend Ty, a six-year-old boy, learn to speak Italian in their picturesque Tuscan town.
