The Deadly Confidante chronicles the chilling case of Robin Lee Row, a woman accused of setting her house on fire and causing the death of her husband and two young children. It also tells the agonizing story of Joan McHugh, Robin's friend, who wrestled with issues of trust, loyalty and the value of friendship in the face of incriminating evidence. The Deadly Confidante is the culmination of years of tireless research; the author skillfully compiled reports, court records, police interviews and in-depth research in retelling the story. Was Robin Lee Row a compassionate mother or was she a cold and calculating killer? A provocative, must read true-crime story with an unforgettable outcome.

Editorial Reviews
Review
[Nancy Whitmore Poore] has gone far and beyond what I would conceive an author doing. She understands the crime, the people and the circumstances...and has captured them like I thought no one could. If you want to know what a real homicide investigation is like, this book will tell you. --Shariff Gary Raney, Former Lead Detective, Ada County Sheriff's Office

Deadly Confidante,
By K Wardwell (Darrington WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly Confidante (Paperback)
I found this book to be a compelling read, most difficult to put down. I had thought it would be bogged down in mundane details, but rather found it to be fascinating, albeit horrifying, as it built a most convincing case of brutal, cold-blooded, multiple murders.
The author ends with a chilling revelation indicating who might well have been destined to be the next victims if there had been no conviction.

By Alan H "Appreciates Great Authors" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly Confidante (Paperback)
I could not put this book down. Nancy Poore is a superb writer who kept me glued. I had the pleasure to meet with Nancy at a book signing and learned about the huge amount of research and interviews she conducted in order to put this work together. And then she added her unique writing gifts to construct a book that I have recommended to others and have gifted several times.
Whether you're a true-crime or crime-fiction fan you'll enjoy this from beginning to end.

A page-turner,
This review is from: Deadly Confidante (Paperback)
This book grabbed me from the moment I picked it up. Nancy Whitmore Poore definitely did her homework in depicting the chilling facts surrounding this tragic story, helping the reader get inside the mind of a sociopath and showing us the wreckage left behind for the trusting individuals that opened their hearts and homes to Robin Lee Row. An excellent read.
