Nancy Crampton Brophy seemed to have a knack for writing about the murder of
spouses.
The Portland, Ore.-based romance novelist wrote books about relationships
that were “wrong” but “never felt so right,” often featuring bare-
chested men on the cover. In “The Wrong Cop,” she wrote about a woman who
“spent every day of her marriage fantasizing about killing” her husband.
In “The Wrong Husband,” a woman tried to flee an abusive husband by faking
her death.
And in “How to Murder Your Husband” — an essay — Crampton Brophy wrote
about how to get away with it.
She wrote the post on the blog “See Jane Publish” in November 2011,
describing five core motives and a number of murder weapons from which she
would choose if her character were to kill a husband in a romance novel. 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.
“After all,” Crampton Brophy wrote in the post, which was made private
after inquiries from The Washington Post to the site’s administrators, “if
the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend any
time in jail.”
In real life, she appeared to follow some of her own advice, at least
according to police. Rather than hire a hit man, she allegedly pulled the
trigger herself. |
