Armand Rosamilia delivers a tense, gritty ride with The Gulf Coast Killer. The Florida setting feels so real you can practically smell the salt in the air, and the characters, especially Marisa Paige, leap off the page with depth and attitude. It’s equal parts suspenseful, darkly funny, and impossible to put down. The perfect start to a series that already feels like a hit.

Rosamilia has done it again with this crime thriller with many familiar characters if you've read any of his other crime series Dirty Deeds and others. I'm really looking forward to reading more books in this new series.

he Gulf Coast Killer had me hooked from page one. The pacing, the tension, the chemistry between Marisa and Xavier, it’s everything a modern thriller should be. Armand Rosamilia proves once again that he knows exactly how to keep readers up way past their bedtime.

Down and Dirty Book 1 is part of a 6 book series and follows Marisa and Xavier as they work alongside the FBI to hunt for The Gulf Coast Killer who is running loose in Florida. The story was easy to follow and interesting.
