Georgie’s sad. She wants me to help her. Can’t you see her, Jemma? She’s right there.

Jemma has just landed her first babysitting job, in one of the famous Witches Houses. Sammy says it’s haunted, but Jemma doesn’t know what to believe. One day, Jemma discovers an ivory rose charm. As she touches it, she sees a terrifying flashback. Is it the moment the ghost girl was murdered?

Jemma runs away but tumbles down the stairs. She wakes up in 1895, unable to get home. Jemma becomes a maid, but all is not well in the grand house. Jemma begins to suspect that the young heiress, Georgiana, is being poisoned.

Now she must find the proof and rescue her friend before time runs out.

The Ivory Rose by Belinda Murrell is an engaging tale of mystery and time-travel, capturing the reader’s imagination with suspense and historical intrigue.
