Il ballo in maschera (I casi di Lina 2) – Easy Italian Reader A1, PDF

A cozy Italian mystery written for real beginners.

Tommaso, the hero of Turin, now works for the carabinieri in Venice, and his grandmother Lina has followed him, “only to cook”.

Nobody looks at the grandma with the tray of frittelle…
