Ovaj nastavak je nešto drukčiji jer su djeca otputovala na uskrsne praznike u Krijumčarski vrh. Već sam naziv kuće potiče i njih (a i čitatelja) na uzbuđenje i nadu da će se nešto zanimljivo dogoditi. Tome potpomaže magla kojom su prekrivene slane močvare koje okružuju grad i zanimljive priče o krijumčarima. A kad saznaju za svjetlosne signale koje netko šalje iz kuće prema moru te za sve silne tajne prolaze ispod kuće, naravno da opet upadaju u nevolje. Osim toga imaju komplikacije s Timmyjem koje na kraju ispadnu sasvim korisne. Promjena mjesta radnje je dobrodošla jer koliko se zanimljivih stvari zapravo moŽe osmisliti u vili i na otoku Kirrin?

This might be the quintessential Famous Five book - smugglers and secret passageways and unexpected villains and Timmy saving the day, etc. It's certainly the one I remembered best, after the very first book, Five on a Treasure Island. If you read some of the Famous Five books, be sure to read this one!
My mother found these for me in elementary school when I'd forged my way through most of the rest of the children's books and needed something new. Looking to the UK for series was clever!
