In Liars & Lunatics In Goose Pimple Junction, the fifth book in The Goose Pimple Junction Mystery Series, author Amy Metz transports the readers back to Goose Pimple Junction, Tennessee, for the upcoming mayoral election and other crazy mayhem and adventures that the townsfolks encounter.

It's election time in Goose Pimple Junction, and the townsfolks are preparing to vote for the town's mayor. Longtime mayor Buck Lyle has a challenger when shifty Knoxville attorney Virgil Pepper comes to town and stakes his claim on the mayor's position. But that's not all Virgil is up to, he's a lying, no good philanderer who has been dating Caledonia Culpepper, along with every other women in town! Then there is Virgil's backdoor deal to try and steal author Jackson Wright's property to develop a lakeside resort, is there anything that this scoundrel won't do? And if that isn't enough excitement, how about ex-hitwoman Wynona Baxter coming back to town under the new alias of Daisy Baxter, owner of Killer Cupcakes! Then add in a dash of murder to the mayhem via ethanol poisoned Goose Juice (illegal moonshine), and the pot really gets stirred up in this small southern picturesque town.

Author Amy Metz weaves an intriguing southern cozy murder mystery tale told in the third person narrative that immediately draws the reader in with its quirky humor and fast-paced action. This captivating tale has enough twists and turns that will leave your head spinning! Rich in detail and vivid descriptions, the story takes place in Goose Pimple Junction, Tennessee, a picturesque southern town with a lot of heart and charm. The description of the town and surrounding area was wonderful, there's nothing better than down home country charm and living. I loved how the author masterfully interwove the various townsfolk's trials and tribulations into a suspenseful and riveting story with enough laugh-out-loud moments that will keep you in stitches as you turn the pages. It is so much fun following along with the townsfolks' southern charm, quirky "goosepimpleisms," and humorous Southern quotes at the start of every chapter. You can't help but get caught up in the drama and mayhem that ensues, but that's how it is when you live in Goose Pimple Junction!

I don’t speak Southern-speak and would probably struggle if I heard it. But Amy Metz’s mystery, Murder and Mayhem in Good Pimple Junction, renders the language simultaneously audible, legible and understandable, with chapter headers introducing cool phrases, and a protagonist who’s just as at sea in this strange new place as I would be. The dialog is convincing, the characters are pleasing and believably quirky, and the blend of 30s low-life with modern-day normality is enjoyably compelling.

Of course, this modern-day normality might become a little strange when newcomer Tess finds her house burgled and her life possibly threatened. Luckily there’s hunky author Jackson Wright ready and willing to help out—but is Tess ready and willing to accept any man’s help.

Tess and Jackson are both authors, a fact that might normally put me off reading because other people’s authors are always so much more successful than myself. But these are great characters of differing levels of success. Tess is earnest and lacking self-confidence. Jackson is outgoing but private. Together they’re just the team to solve a murder long gone and forgotten, and keep a great community from falling apart. I read it fast and really enjoyed this story.

Disclosure: I got this on a deal. Lucky me!
