The Secrets of Hardy Lodge A MORA Paranormal Mystery (Book One) A remote lodge in the Northwoods. A gathering of paranormal investigators. And a murder the dead themselves may help solve. When paranormal investigator Mary O’Reilly and her husband, Police Chief Bradley Alden , arrive at Hardy Lodge for a weekend retreat with several ghost-hunting teams, they expect a few spirited debates about equipment, techniques, and the existence of ghosts. What they don’t expect is a body. Lady Edna, a controversial psychic known for being a diva, is found murdered behind the lodge’s bar. With a blizzard cutting the island off from the mainland, everyone inside the lodge becomes a suspect—and the killer may be hiding in plain sight. But Hardy Lodge has been haunted for generations. As Bradley questions the living, Mary begins speaking with the lodge’s restless spirits—members of the Hardy family whose secrets, regrets, and rivalries linger long after death. The ghosts have seen more than anyone realizes, and they may hold the clues needed to expose the truth. If Mary and her team can convince them to talk. Because at Hardy Lodge, the past is never truly buried… And the dead are still watching.
