Castle Cay, Book 1
9,563 reviews on Amazon
4 out of five stars
When her best friend is murdered, Julie O'Hara, a body language expert, packs up her suspicion and flies from Florida to Boston for his funeral. Who could have killed rising artist Marc Solomon, and what does Castle Cay, the Solomons' mysterious Caribbean island, have to do with it? Before long, Julie's sixth-sense pulls a hidden string that unravels a deadly conspiracy...and her own troubled past.
"Page-turning suspense novel. Author, Lee Hanson, does an excellent job of building suspense in Castle Cay. She writes likable characters who are well developed, adding interest to the plot. I see that there is a second book available, Swan Song. I would definitely be interested in reading further books in this series..."

Swan Song, Book 2

4.5 out of 5 stars
As dawn breaks, the pale body of a beautiful, raven-haired young woman is discovered in an errant swan boat, adrift on a small lake, smack in the middle of a jewel-like park in Downtown Orlando. A suicide? Snow White in a fractured fairytale? Body language expert, Julie O'Hara, isn't buying it. And that's a BIG problem, since Julie is the one person most likely to figure it out.
"Engaging and Unique. This is the second book in the Julie O'Hara series, coming after Castle Cay, and to say that I was impressed is an understatement. Swan Song had me hooked right from the start and the idea behind Julie and her career is a unique one. In my opinion, this was a very fresh and clever way to leap into the mystery/suspense genre. This was plotted very tightly...it took me by surprise when the true assailant was finally uncovered." - Dianne E. Socci-Tetro, Books & Chat

Mystral Murder, Book 3
784 reviews on Amazon
4.5 out of 5 stars
For body language expert Julie O’Hara, writing a book called “Clues” had seemed like a logical next-step in her career, but she had never thought past the writing part. Catapulted into the spotlight by the book’s success, Julie is caught up in a whirlwind of publicity, the latest being a seminar aboard Holiday Cruise Lines gigantic ship, Mystral. It’s grin-and-bear-it time for Julie, until a woman she meets at the exclusive Captain’s Dinner takes a header overboard. Julie thinks back and realizes there was a lot of motive for murder spread around the Captain’s table…
"Best of the series. Although I've thoroughly enjoyed each of the Julie O'Hara Mysteries, this one was undoubtedly the best of the series. The plot was so well developed, that I literally couldn't stop reading it until it was finished (at 5:30 am!)... If you're not already a Lee Hanson fan, you will be after reading Mystral Murder. Can't wait for the next Julie O'Hara adventure!" - Jeanne Hyler

A compassionate, elderly neighbor, a woman of means who was her only friend, hires Private Investigator Joe Garrett to find and notify Topaz Bonnefille’s family… if she has one. Joe enlists the help of his associate and lover, body language expert Julie O’Hara. They find an old family Bible that leads to New Orleans… and an outcome nobody expected…
“Lee Hanson has delivered another gem, magically transporting the reader from the vibrant streets of Orlando to the dark and mysterious cemeteries of New Orleans. My favorite Julie and Joe adventure to date. Keep them coming, Lee Hanson!” - Tina Ruddy
