Description
In the summer of 1985, in his exclusive Upper East Side Manhattan apartment, Robert Bierenbaum, a prominent surgeon and certified genius, strangled his wife Gail to death. He then drove her body to an airstrip in Caldwell, N.J., and dumped it into the Atlantic Ocean from a single-engine private plane. The next day he reported her missing.
Gail's parents had been thrilled to learn she was marrying Robert Bierenbaum. He seemed to be the perfect match for their daughter. He was from a well-to-do family, a medical student who spoke five languages fluently, a skier, and he even flew an airplane. But Gail would come to learn of her husband's dark side. On one occasion when Robert had tried to choke Gail because he caught her smoking, she filed a police report. She also alleged that he tried to kill her cat because he was jealous of it. For years, her sister pleaded with Gail to run for her life. Even her therapist warned his vulnerable patient that she could eventually die at the hands of the man she married.
Fifteen years after this unspeakable, unfathomable crime, a jury found Robert Bierenbaum guilty of murder - and stripped the mask off of this privileged professional to reveal a monster.

Well Written
This is a horrendous story that I hadn't heard of in the news, although it's been awhile since it happened.
It's hard to believe that there are people among us like this. To be honest, I disliked both the victim and the person who was convicted. However, that doesn't take away from the tragedy
They couldn't prove he did it but I got the impression that he did, and the jury obviously did as well.. They had only circumstantial evidence but it was overwhelming damning.
It was almost the perfect murder...........
I felt the book was very well written but I didn't really care for the narrator. His voice sounded forced. I prefer Kevin Pierce to narrate true crime.
A good listen, overall. I hate to say that about an awful murder but I do like true crime. I wish it was all fiction though.

Excellent!
One of the best true crime books. This guy is obviously guilty. But he was smart in his method of dumping body.
I was fascinated and could not put the book down. Great narrator!

The Narration is not pleasant
The story is OK, although slow at times. The real problem with this audiobook is the narration. The narrator’s voice is very raspy which makes it difficult to listen to the story. The voice is kind of like nails on a chalkboard.
I found the narrator’s voice so unpleasant that I tried to return the audiobook but could not because I purchased it too long ago.
In the future I will avoid all audiobooks read by Danny Campbell.

Full of speculation.
What disappointed you about The Surgeon's Wife?
The end. To claim wrongful conviction is rare makes it hard to put any weight in the first 51 chapters. That's just dead wrong. Or at least vague. 149 people were cleared in 2015 for crimes they didn’t commit - more than any other year in history, according to a report published by the National Registry of Exonerations. That is hardly "rare" as the book claims. Just one of many disappointments here.
What does Danny Campbell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His performance was enjoyable. It added a compelling narrative to an otherwise, book of speculation.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Surgeon's Wife?
The last few sentences.
Any additional comments?
All it takes is less than an hour to research the number of wrongful convictions in America. Also, what was the point of plugging the work of police at the end? No one faulted police in this story. Or did I miss that part?

Great True Crime
Would you listen to The Surgeon's Wife again? Why?
I have a 1.5 hour commute to work and this book made it seem like 20 minutes. I cleaned my house, did yard word, worked out to this book.

Very documenatry
This book was interesting I wondered about Dr. Bob truth. Did he really kill Gail? Some times ijn the story I wanted to kill Gail. She talked too much. I was not a fan of neither of the two main chracters.

Boring
I didn't like either of the main characters in the book, which made it hard to get excited about listening to it. Probably 90% of the people in the book are given pseudonyms, which makes me wonder how much of this is accurate and why so few people were willing to be identified by name. Also the narrator has a terrible voice. He sounds like he has a perpetual sore throat, which also makes it difficult to listen to.
