The Greenglass House by Kate Milford

A smugglers’ inn, a mystery, a family, it feels like it’s set a million years ago and in a magical place, but on the other hand it’s not. I enjoyed this story and found it unique for all the reasons I just said.  I also loved the way book made me feel that I was in a wintery snowed in old house. And with each unexpected guest arriving it felt like all the characters were getting in place for an old fashioned house party mystery. There were a lot of characters to keep track of and it was all a little bit weird, but that was definitely right up my alley. This is the sort of book that I’d say needs a particular reader. I was definitely that read when I was a kid and I know they are still out there and I hope those kids find this book.
