Description

He had a successful career, a selfless wife, and three loving children.

When high school sweethearts Karen and Richard Sharpe married, they shared an interest in medicine, a desire for family, and a dream for the future. For Karen, that dream became a nightmare. After years of abuse at the hands of her physician husband, she put an end to their 26-year marriage. Fearing a crushing divorce settlement, Richard ended the marriage first by unloading a .22-caliber rifle into Karen's chest. The murder revealed more about the millionaire doctor - and his double life - than polite Boston society was prepared for.

He also had a secret that shot his picture-perfect world to hell.

Behind the doors of their upscale Massachusetts home, Dr. Sharpe was a compulsive cross-dresser with a penchant for his own daughter's underwear - a respected family man who had not only been taking hormones to grow breasts, but who stole his wife's birth control pills to supplement them. But not even his own family could have imagined that it would take cold-blooded murder to finally reveal the good doctor's disturbing secrets, and shatter forever the prosaic facade of an all-American family.

Weird Dude, But.. Whatever

To be honest, John Glatt's exposé about a fairly "routine" spouse murder is a blatant attempt to capitalize on the salacious aspects of the case. Yes, Millionaire Boston Dermatologist Dr. Richard Sharpe had some bizarre paraphilias in private - but I wasn't *shocked* by his proclivities by any means.
The writing is capable, forensic findings are described with mind's-eye vivid detail, and Glatt displays his signature punctilious accuracy in reporting courtroom testimony.. but those features can't overcome the "ho-hum" status of the crime.

Similarly, the performance from reader Shaun Grindell is "acceptable". I disagree with charges from reviewers that his British accent fits poorly with the Massachusetts subject matter (Tantor Audio Inc cast this project adequately) - but any professional narrator could have delivered equally effective listening fare.

Altogether, I rate this audiobook 4.5/10-stars ('Twisted' doesn't really belong in your True Crime library). It wasn't a total waste of time as a 'Plus' selection, I guess.. but you can definitely find more captivating crime documentaries should they ask for a Credit.
