Dance Of Death

by Dale Hudson

Lethal Beauty


Kimberly Renee Poole, 21, led a double life. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina area housewife and mother was also a topless dancer at a strip club. She craved jewelry, designer clothing, and adulterous affairs with both men and women. Brent Poole, her hopelessly devoted spouse, could deny her nothing. But that wasn't enough for Renee. She wanted his money and his life.



Infernal Triangle


Murder moved from fantasy to reality after Renee Poole began an affair with John Boyd Frazier, a patron at the club where she worked. On the night of June 9, 1998, on the pretext of celebrating their third wedding anniversary, Poole lured her husband to an oceanfront hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While their young daughter slept in the hotel room, Renee made love to Brent on the deserted beach--then delivered him to Frazier, who shot him dead.



American Nightmare


From the start, police knew Renee's story didn't add up, and the investigation that followed exposed the dark details of how Brent Poole's marriage to his dream woman ended in cold blood. Author Dale Hudson's gripping account of this high-profile case of greed, lust and murder includes extensive interviews with Renee Poole herself, whose dance of death landed her in prison for life.

I tend to enjoy Hudson's books and this was no exception. Really good true crime

[Jennifer Dines · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a quick read and the first true crime book that I have read. I am a big fan of the tv show "Forensic Files"; however, the trial described in this book used circumstantial evidence and eyewitness and character testimony. I was surprised to learn that these types of evidence were admissible in court. I also found the police interrogation techniques interesting. I gave this book four stars because there were many typos in the edition that I read, which were distracting and at times confusing.

Eye opening true crime book. I actually had some pity for Kimberley during the early part of this book but quickly changed my thinking as I read more about her life. She was concerned only about her own needs and her own happiness to the point where she convinced a guy to kill her husband. She’s a pretty girl but it’s only on the surface. Sadly, she’s right where she needs to be.

A rather average true crime book. Nothing spectacular, yet it is interesting & a good read. It definitely kept my attention.

[J.L. Hardee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dale Hudson was a great author, but with this book, the story was told straight from the police reports without any investigation or other sides to the story.

I liked the book but it was fairly drawn out with the case, since we knew most of the story from the beginning. I did find it interesting though.

A good book to read! Easy story to follow. Enjoyed this book and recommend to others!

[Rick Yokeley · Rating 3 out of 5]

I knew quite a lot about this case prior to reading the book. It was a rehash of court documents and police reports. Hudson conducted interviews with family members and that was interesting. I have lived in Winston Salem all of my life and I am familiar with the Silver Fox Gentlemen's Club, (not as a patron) and the neighborhoods and schools mentioned in the book.

It's a very sad story that affected many people and not by their choice. I felt very sad for the parents of Brent and Kimberly, and most of all for the daughter of Brent and Kimberly.
