The Jasmine Room

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.
