Dollycas’s Thoughts
Amy Metz is answering questions about things in Goose Pimple Junction. Questions I had myself like How did Johnny Butterfield become police chief? and How did Ima Jean come to live with Louetta? and more in this very fast read. Perfect to hold us over until Rogues And Rascals In Goose Pimple Junction is released.
I really liked the “tall tale” where we learn about Johnny Butterfield’s arrival in Goose Pimple Junction. The quote at the top of chapter one was “I was born at night, but not last night.” attributed to Johnny himself. Each chapter starts with a quote from a GPJ resident, that made me start each one with a smile on my face. The tale had all the drama of a full length novel. Loved it!
There are 5 “short tales” as well to give readers a little more insight into the some of the people we have met in the other two books. The story about Jack and Tess really touched my heart.
Do you like pie? Goose Pimple Junction celebrates Apple Day! The descriptions of the pies will have your mouth watering. I was so grateful to find the recipes at the end of the stories.
If Amy Metz is a new author to you this little book will introduce to her wonderful characters. Technically the events fall between Murder & Mayhem, and Heroes & Hooligans, but they truly can all read as stand alone. I just know that once you have read one you will want to read all three.

Looks like a fun read.
Thank you so much for this review and a fantastic blog tour. I agree with you that the books in the series can be read out of order, but I would caution readers that if they don’t read book 1 first, the mystery may be spoiled for them in the other two books. Of course, I am just grateful if you read them. Thank you again, Lori. You are awesome!
