Being reacquainted with Hannah Weybridge once again was great. Dancers in the Wind has very much stayed with me since I read it last year and I often just stop and think about Hannah. Sheâs a struggling journalist but also a single mum to one year old Elizabeth. In the first book Hannah just seemed to attract trouble wherever she went so I was keen to see if the same would happen in the second book. And it certainly does! Hannah discovers her friendâs recently murdered body in a church basement. Her friend, Liz Rayman, has recently returned from a stint volunteering at an outpost in Somalia. On her return to London and as a qualified dentist, she was recruited by the local parish priest to offer free dental treatment to those living on the streets. But whilst the priest is absent one evening, Liz is brutally murdered. All of the signs point to one of the homeless people Liz was trying to help but Hannah canât and wonât believe that theory. Tasked by Lizâs mother to investigate, Hannah sets out to discover exactly why her friend was so brutally killed. But what Hannah doesnât realise is that sheâs getting involved in something much bigger than she expects. This goes way beyond the murder of her friend and into darker territory than she ever imagined.

I found the Dancers in the Wind to be quite a gritty, raw read. Unfortunately between the first and the second book something has been lost. Iâm afraid to say that I didnât get that edginess this time around. Hannah came across as a nice, middle class mother who could easily afford to employ a nanny to look after her child whilst she went undercover in Cardboard City for a few hours, only to return to her comfortable home and sleeping baby. I felt as though she had lost a lot of the âstruggleâ which I really liked in the first book.

It may of course be something to do with the friction and the chemistry created by love interest DI Tom Jordan being completely absent. Tom was working in the US throughout much of the story and was only available by telephone. I really missed having this character involved in the investigation.

There is a new DI in Tomâs place for Hannah to deal with but I found her quite contrary. DI Claudia Turner blows hot and cold and I couldnât work her out at all. I hope Tom returns in the next book and DI Turner is only seen in passing.
