Il Fantasma del Castello: Learn Italian through Easy Detective Stories – A2/B1 (Misteri Italiani - Book 3) (Misteri Italiani. Edward Blake: Pre-Intermediate (A2–B1)) (Italian Edition)

Can you solve a 500-year-old mystery — and learn Italian along the way?

Edward Blake is a retired Scotland Yard detective living in Tuscany. When he travels to the medieval Fénis Castle in Valle d'Aosta, what begins as a quiet holiday quickly turns into something far more compelling: an ancient will has vanished, a ghost is said to walk the corridors at night, and the local guide is clearly hiding something.

Il Fantasma del Castello is Book 3 in the Misteri Italiani series — detective stories written specifically for learners of Italian at A2–B1 level. Each chapter is crafted so you read like a native, not like a student.

What you get in every chapter:

• Authentic Italian narrative at A2–B1 level — present, past, and imperfect tense, no subjunctive
• Bilingual glossary ordered by appearance in the text, with cultural notes on Italian life and traditions
• 5 grammar exercises per chapter: comprehension, articles, prepositions, verbs, and vocabulary
• Creative writing prompts with model answers by the author
• Complete answer key at the end of the book

Who is this book for? Perfect for self-study adults who want to read real Italian, not textbook Italian. If you have finished a beginner course and want to take the next step without feeling overwhelmed — this series was written for you.

Each book in the Misteri Italiani series is fully independent. You can start with Book 3 and enjoy it without having read Books 1 or 2.

Discover Valle d'Aosta. Solve the mystery. Learn Italian.

Perfect for fans of Italian mystery short stories and graded readers.
