The Portland-based romance-thriller novelist authored books about relationships that were tumultuous, while using seductive men on the covers to lure in her readers. Often, her books featured women protagonists who fantasized about killing their own husbands or fleeing their husbands and faking their own deaths. And then, in 2022 in a shocking turn of events, Brophy was convicted of killing her own husband.”Sponsors:BetterHelp- BetterHelp.com/LL for 10% off your first month of therapyFollow us on social media and become part of the Lie Detector community:Instagram: @LipstickandLies TikTok: @LipstickandLiesPodJami Rice: @JamiOnAir (IG & TikTok) Melissa Moore: @LifeAfterCrimee (IG) / @LifeAfterCrime (TikTok) Subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@lipstickandliespodcastLeave a 5-star rating for Lipstick & Lies in Apple Podcasts, and drop the name of your favorite lipstick or lip gloss while you’re there.Crime is typically a good ol’ boys club, but sometimes the truth lies behind lipstick.
