From an archived version of a blog post titled “How to Murder Your Husband,” which was allegedly written in 2011 by Nancy Brophy, who was put on trial in April for shooting and killing her husband in 2018.

As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, police procedure. After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend time in jail. And let me say clearly for the record: I don’t like jumpsuits and orange is not my color.
