I could not put this book down! I read it really quickly and though it was long I just couldn't stop. Yes there were some very gruesome details. However, I feel that Mr. Scott did a wonderful job of taking the reader inside the mind of these two sicko's! I did get confused a couple of times because he went off subject just a bit to write about other events that did turn out to be relevant to the story after all further down the line. All in all this book was very well written and yes very, very scary. It scared me because I knew there were some really sick men out there but the female killer in this book has no morals! She allows this man to molest her own daughter while she watches and then does the same herself! Sick twisted people who really deserve what's coming to them!

Details sketchy. Would have like a more in depth description of events. Writer rambles on too much. I didn't even finish it. Next...

This book has me scared to go anywhere alone. I love reading true crime books but this was a little on the sick side. I don't think it was as messed up as House of Secrets, but I'm glad its over so I don't have to ready it anymore.

Rope Burns is your typical true crime but not about a typical crime couple. They are the preverted and disturbed version of Bonnie and Clyde. I remember this book well because I think the story about any heterosexual couple who gets their jollies by raping and even murdering innocent girls if pretty sick. This pair is one of a few in the criminal population to committ such horrific acts against young women and even children. There is suspicion and possible links to other unsolved cases but these defendents wouldn't dare confess unless there was something in it for them. They remind of the Gallegos case which happened also in Northern California.

I was not thrilled with this book the writer was all over the place and I thought gave too much detail in things I really didn't want to know about and too little in things I wanted to know about. I think told by another writer this would be a very good book.

This book was too long. I love long books, but this had information that was not necessary(sic). Also too graphic; I want to know details, but this book was erotic! Also not necessary

Robert Scott is a master in taking the finest of details and spinning them into a fascinating and easy to follow storyline. I found the Prologue somewhat off putting but fortunately stayed with it and soon became entranced and horrified at the same time with the telling of the multitude of horrific crimes commited by this demonic duo. I have lived in the areas mentioned in this book and even know some of the officials involved. It was very, very strange to be able to picture most of the places mentioned in the book and to know I had either seen or been to some of the places mentioned. It made the book all that more real for me. I came away from reading it with a new found awareness that is both disturbing and enlightening for me. NO ONE IS SAFE from having this happen to them. It is such a ramdom crime of violence. There are things you can do to reduce your chances of being a victim but Fate plays such a big hand in life, for good or for evil. I will be more vigilant for myself and warn people I care about. This book has made a difference in my life.
