Woman Who Wrote “How to Murder Your Husband” Novel Goes on Trial for Murdering Husband

Meanwhile, in America…

New York Post:

An Oregon romance novelist who once penned an essay titled “How to Murder Your Husband” will face trial on Monday for allegedly shooting dead her spouse for a $1.5 million life insurance payout.

Nancy Crampton-Brophy, now 71, has pleaded not guilty to gunning down her husband of 25 years, Daniel Brophy, in Portland in June 2018.

Daniel was found with gunshot wounds to his back and chest at the Oregon Culinary Institute where he taught shortly after arriving for work, local outlet KGW8 reported.

Crampton-Brophy, who told police she was at the couple’s home when the shooting unfolded, was arrested months later after detectives said she had been in the vicinity of the crime scene.

At the time of Daniel’s slaying, Crampton-Brophy broke the news to loved ones on Facebook, writing: “For my Facebook friends and family, I have sad news to relate. My husband and best friend, Chef Dan Brophy was killed yesterday morning.”

I’m not going to read the novel, because apparently it wasn’t very well written.

She couldn’t even follow her own advice.

If I was married to a woman who wrote a book called “How to Murder Your Husband,” I would probably start watching my back.
