Loved seeing these characters again
This was a good book. All of my favorite characters were back again and Milo solved another mystery that had a lot of twists and turns. And I loved all of the supernatural elements in this story. Amazing.

I think this series is probably great for middle schoolers but the first book was genuinely enjoyable as an adult. This book was much more focused on that angsty kid element and was more contrived than the first book. It leaned way more into the supernatural aspect than the first book did and not in a wholly satisfying way.

We are spending another winter break at Greenglass House with Milo and his collection of unusual guests. This year Milo is feeling a bit down after a couple of incidents at school and the fact that Meddy hasn't been around since last Christmas. This year Greenglass House has only one guests, Emmet, a painter studying the stained glass in the house. Then Clem and Georgie show up. Seems they decided to do one last heist before Clem marries Owen and the heist went wrong. Now they are hiding out in Greenglass House waiting for things to calm down. Then the Waits appear. They are a traditional caroling group from the Liberty. The Liberty is a section of Nagspeake where people can seek asylum, though some people believe it is an asylum. The visit from the Waits goes wrong immediately as two of them are koshed on the head, one is poisoned and another makes a mess while trying to clean the fireplace. Then the Clem and Georgie's cache of stolen goods is stolen. Suddenly, Greenglass House is full and everyone is suspicious. Someone could be the Gilawfer, the fence in disguise. Someone could also be the mysterious thief Cantlebone, who no one has actually seen. There are secrets aplenty for Milo and Meddy to uncover.
I adore Kate Milford's books and Ghosts of Greenglass House did not disappoint. Reading it made me want to go back and read some of her other books as I feel like there are details there that are mentioned here. I love the world she has created around Nagspeake and its denizens. They are all fascinating characters who I want to learn more about. In Ghosts of Greenglass House we learn about the Liberty and other bits of Nagspeake history, all related to smuggling of course. In this book, Milo and Meddy are up to their usual adventures. Milo no longer feels connected to his character Negret so comes up with a new character of Tengfei. Tengfei and Sirrin work together to solve the mystery of Clem and Georgie's missing cache and figure out who among their guests is not who they say they are. The ending a a surprise as there are many guests at the House who are not who they seem. I loved it and am definitely going to have to go back and read some of her earlier books.
