I couldn't put 'Dance of Death' down! I read the book in two nights. What amazes me is that Renee Poole was so devious and evil that she could stand there on the beach, knowing what was about to happen. This is the second book I have read by author Dale Hudson and I have enjoyed both.
Very good research, very good writing, very good story. You will like this one.

From the start, the police knew her story didn't add up, and their investigation exposes dark secrets. Engrossing.
