Woman Who Wrote About Killing A Spouse Charged In Husband’s Death An Oregon novelist who once penned an essay titled “How To Murder Your Husband” has been arrested for—surprise—killing her husband. Somehow, her in-laws are “in shock” over the whole ordeal, but clearly, everyone should’ve seen this coming . Nancy Crampton Brophy was taken into custody on Sept. 5 for murder and unlawful use of a weapon in the death of her spouse, Daniel Brophy , the Washington Post states. She was reportedly arraigned the following day and ordered jail without bail. She has not entered a plea at this time. According to the site, the 68-year-old author had a ton of hypothetical instructions for readers when it came to knocking off a spouse: “She advised against hiring a hit man to do the dirty work — ‘an amazing number of hit men rat you out to the police’ — and against hiring a lover. ‘Never a good idea.’ Poison was not advised either, because it’s traceable. ‘Who wants to hang out with a sick husband?’ she wrote.” She also wrote a book about a woman who spent every day fantasizing about killing her husband and another, in which the wife escaped her abusive husband by faking her death.
