Twisted: The secret desires and bizarre double life of Dr. Richard Sharpe (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

I enjoy John Glatt's style of writing. He grabs the reader on the first page of his true crime stories and doesn't let go until the last word is read. That's the sign of a great writer. Twisted is the tale of a millionaire doctor who is controlling, paranoid, abusive, and TWISTED. He is also into crossing dressing, drugs and alcohol, stalking, etc. All these characteristics lead him to murdering his wife after she leaves him and files for divorce. The book moves at a rapid pace, leaving the reader anxious to find out what is going to happen next in this comlex account of spousal abuse and murder.

Twisted is without doubt THE best true crime novel I have ever read. John Glatt's masterful telling of this riveting story made it a joy to read and I could not put it down. I would recommend Twisted to anyone who is a true crime devotee and Glatt paints a vivid picture of the cruel transvestite Dr. Richard Sharpe, who gunned down his loyal and devoted wife Karen in front of her family after nearly 30 years of marriage.This book can hold its own next to anything Ann Rule has ever written.

a great true crime read-- a definate warning to women who are abused
