Greenglass House ist nicht irgendein Gasthaus. Es hat im Laufe der Jahre viele Schmuggler beherbergt und ist nur per Standseilbahn zu erreichen. Warum kommen dort mitten im tiefsten Winter lauter seltsame Gäste an? Milo, der chinesische Adoptivsohn der Pines, die das Gasthaus führen, glaubt nicht an einen Zufall – wer könnte das auch bei so vielen rätselhaften Diebstählen? So beginnt er seine Detektivarbeit ... Zusammen mit Meddy, der Tochter der Köchin, entschlüsselt Milo die Hinweise und löst beharrlich die Fäden des sich verdichtenden Gewebes von Geheimnissen. Wenn es ihnen gelingt, die Wahrheit über Greenglass House aufzudecken, erfahren sie vielleicht auch etwas über sich selbst. – So vielen originellen, mysteriösen Personen wie hier begegnet man selten in einem Buch.

And I went back to the first Kate Milford I read, to remind myself of how The Raconteur's Commonplace Book was related to it. It was fun to discover again the snippets included, impressively worked into a complete story collection - slash - novel in the RCB. I assume they were not complete stories at the time GGH was written!
The book is most enjoyable for its atmosphere and characters; the mystery element is mild. I want the Pines for my innkeepers, they are so solicitous it would be like having a second family. Milo is a lucky boy but his mixed feelings about his ancestry and birth parents are understandable. I like how he uses “role playing” to help him break free of his mental limitations.
I loved this book! The mystery and discovery is very well done. The details about this place really help to create a unique atmosphere. The characters are so great. The house even seems like a character. I can't say enough great things about this one.
