The Jasmine Room

By Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert

Detective Elara Quinn is sent to Marrowbone House, a decaying estate on the Yorkshire moors, to quietly revisit a cold case that derailed her career-the infamous disappearance of Ophelia Marrowbone, a girl who vanished from her locked bedroom ten years earlier.

But Marrowbone is no ordinary house.

From the moment Elara arrives, the moor seems to whisper. A porcelain doll waits in the study, bleeding from a cracked wrist. Jasmine blooms out of season. Mirrors reflect memories that don't belong to her. And the locals-especially the reclusive Gideon Marrowbone-insist that Ophelia never left.

As Elara digs deeper, she unearths traces of an older sister, Margaret, rumored stillborn, and a pattern of vanishing girls across generations. A hidden staircase beneath the floorboards leads her into the dark gut of the house, where memory doesn't just linger-it reshapes. There, she confronts versions of herself, lost in time, caught in the house's ever-blooming grief.

Haunted by forgotten trauma and unraveling identity, Elara must face a horrifying truth: she was never meant to solve the mystery.

She was meant to return to it.

Now, the house remembers her-and it's ready to bloom again.
