THE HARDWICK HALL HAUNTING - A Derbyshire Cozy Mystery Where the Past Refuses to Stay There

THE HARDWICK HALL HAUNTING
Tea, Secrets, and a Manor House That Won't Give Up Its Past
The Flour Power Mysteries - Book Twelve

Some houses remember everything.

Rising above the Derbyshire countryside, the legendary Hardwick Hall has stood for centuries - grand, beautiful, and filled with stories whispered through candlelit corridors and hidden staircases.

But when a guest is found dead during an exclusive autumn heritage event at the manor, the hall's dark history suddenly feels far too close to the present.

What begins as a tragic discovery quickly spirals into something far more unsettling.

Because someone inside Hardwick Hall has been keeping secrets for years.

And now, those secrets are turning deadly.

As rumors of hauntings spread through Bakewell and frightened staff whisper about strange sounds echoing through the old estate after dark, baker-sleuth Olivia Baker finds herself drawn into one of the most chilling mysteries she has ever faced.

The deeper Olivia investigates, the more she uncovers:
hidden rivalries between wealthy guests, family scandals buried for generations, vanished letters, locked rooms, and clues carefully hidden behind the manor's polished elegance.

But in Hardwick Hall, the past never truly stays silent.

And someone will do anything to keep it buried.
