Is the indirect object needed here?
Grammar book didn't include it in following sentence.

Lori hace una visita a su amiga.

I think technically it would be correct with or without the indirect object. To me, it sounds much more natural with the indirect object:

Lori le hace una visita a su amiga.

Now that I think about it, it may be incorrect without the IO. "a su amiga" is added to disambiguate.
