title: Heroes & Hooligans in Goose Pimple Junction (Goose Pimple Junction Mysteries) (Volume 2)
author:  Amy Metz 
description: Reviewed by Marta Tandori for Readers' Favorite<br><br>Amy Metz crafts a solid mystery that's enveloped in not-so-genteel 'Southernisms.' What I especially loved about Heroes & Hooligans was that although some of the characters' names should be found on exotic spice labels (like Peekal Culpepper and Paprika Honeywell), the story stays true to its roots and loses none of its down-home charm - even in the midst of a murder investigation. As far as cozy mysteries go, you can't get any better than Heroes & Hooligans in Goose Pimple Junction!<br /><br />Reviewed by Lori Caswell/Dollycas VINE VOICE<br /><br />This is another marvelous story from Amy Metz. Fantastic characters like Martha Maye, Butterbean, Johnny, Ima Jean, Honey, Maddy Mack, Pickle and more. I loved Pickle&apos;s t-shirts with sayings like &quot;Hard Work Must Have Killed Someone&quot; and Ima Jean&apos;s commercial jingles input like &quot;Gentlemen prefer Hanes&quot; and &quot;Leggo My Eggo&quot;. Characters from Murder and Mayhem in Goose Pimple Junction like Jack and Tess are back too . . . Metz plots things out brilliantly with those wonderful twists that we cozy lovers crave.
