Sinossi
Poco lontano dal fiume Skidwrack,
sulla cima di una collina innevata,
sorge una casa dalle vetrate colorate.
La dimora, appartenuta a un famigerato
contrabbandiere, ospita ora la locanda
dei coniugi Pine e di Milo, il loro unico
figlio di dodici anni. La casa è quieta
e silenziosa, i Pine si accingono
a trascorrere qualche giorno di meritata
vacanza invernale, ma nella prima
gelida notte di riposo, suona inatteso
il campanello degli ospiti. Poi suona
ancora. E ancora. Presto la locanda si
riempie di avventori riservati e misteriosi.
Chi sono e quali segreti nascondono?
Cosa li ha condotti lì? Mentre alcuni
preziosi oggetti scompaiono e gli animi
si infiammano, Milo e Meddy, la figlia
della cuoca, proveranno a districare
la rete di enigmi sempre più fitta che
li circonda.
Kate Milford costruisce un mistery
avvincente come un gioco di ruolo
e appassionante come un giallo di Agatha
Christie, bestseller del New York Times,
vincitore dell’Edgar Award
e nominato al National Book Award.

When I was a kid I had a real and abiding love of Agatha Christie. This would be around the time when I was ten or eleven. It wasn’t that I was rejecting the mysteries of the children’s book world. I just didn’t have a lot to choose from there. Aside from The Westing Game or supernatural ghostly mys Leggi tutto
A mostly-fun adventure/mystery story geared for young readers but captivating enough for adults. I would recommend reading it during winter as it oozes with great imagery of snow drifts, fire places, creepy hotel hallways, dazzling windows and more. Intermixed between the mystery are interludes of h Leggi tutto
There was never any question in my mind that this would turn out to be a five-star review (once I started reading, at any rate). It's not that the book is atmospheric. It is, and strongly so. And it's not that the characters are immediately and intensely engaging. They are, and without stretching or Leggi tutto
Finished the book a few minutes ago. It was near perfect. It rivalled the best books I've ever read. I daresay that Greenglass House is better than most Harry Potter books. It was a wonderful read. What is funny is that I am - even now - lacking words to praise this magical book. I cannot sit still w Leggi tutto
I wish I read this during Christmastime because this was a perfectly atmospheric wintery read! Milo is excited that it's Christmas break. Not only does he get school off, but he lives at the Greenglass House - an inn where it's very quiet over Christmas. That's why it's highly unusual why a load of
During the Christmas holidays, Milo hopes to be spending some time alone with his parents who run a guest house mainly used by the smuggling community of Nagspeak. With only days to go before Christmas, the guest house fills with guests, all with their story to tell. When Milo makes friends with the Leggi tutto
Summary (amazon.com) It was supposed to be winter vacation. Though Milo’s parents run an inn with a clientele that tends to include more than your average number of smugglers, he can always count on winter vacation to be bereft of guests. Yet in spite of the awful icy weather, a guest appears. Then a Leggi tutto
