Author of 'How to Murder Your Husband' arrested for murdering her husband
 [NYDAILYNEWS] In a twist of irony so devious it would have turned Agatha Christie green with envy, Oregon chef Daniel Brophy was found shot to death nearly seven years after his wife of 27 years penned an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband."Nancy Crampton-Brophy, the writer of sensuous mysteries such as "Hell on the Heart" and "The Wrong Husband," was tossed in the clink Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! for murder on Sept. 5 ‐ more than three months after the death of her spouse. "Dan was one of the very few people I’ve known that knew exactly what he wanted in life and loved doing it," she said at a candlelight vigil two days after Daniel’s demise.
His wife, Crampton-Brophy, is a self-published author of several books, including "The Wrong Husband" and "The Girl Most Likely To." She also penned a blog post entitled "How To Murder Your Husband" in November 2011. The blog has since been made private. In "How to Murder Your Husband," Crampton-Brophy described motives and possible murder weapons she would choose from if her character were to kill a husband in a romance novel, according to The Washington Post. She even offered advice to readers, such as not using a hitman or poison to commit the murder. Her other works also dealt with murder. In "The Wrong Husband," a woman tries to leave an abusive spouse by faking her death and in "The Wrong Cop" she wrote about a woman who “spent every day of her marriage fantasizing about killing” her husband.
