Welcome to another issue of Hot English magazine, the fun magazine for learning English. This month, our main focus is on the Olympics. Even if you aren't into sport or that excited about the idea of hours of running, jumping and swimming, there are lots of interesting thingsto read about the Olympics: the corruption, the stars, the origins, the mascots, the drugs, the dieting... it'sall fascinating stuff. This month is the start of a new section for Advanced learners called Group Talk. It consists of a recording of a conversation in a social setting (a bar ) between several people.
Two cases have pushed San Francisco detective Lindsay Boxer beyond her limits. In the first, a terrible fire in a wealthy home left a married couple dead and Lindsay and her partner Rich Conklin searching for clues. At the same time, Michael Campion, the son of California's ex-governor, with a reputation for partying, has been missing for a month. When there finally seems to be a lead in his case, it is a devastating one. And the combined pressure from the press and the brass is overwhelming.
“Many mystery buffs have credited Louise Penny with the revival of the type of traditional murder mystery made famous by Agatha Christie. . . . The book's title is a metaphor not only for the month of April but also for Gamache's personal and professional challenges making this the series standout so far.”

Did you know that 'flavor of the month' originated in a marketing campaign in American ice-cream parlors in the 1940s, when a particular flavor would be specially promoted for a month at a time? And did you know that 'off the cuff' refers to the rather messy practice of writing impromptu notes on one's shirt cuff before speaking in public?
