"Broken-Neck spat forth a stream of Spanish which no doubt contained disparaging comments about my intelligence. Or my appearance. Or my fashion sense. The only Spanish words I knew were the expletives my friend Mike had taught me. Even so, I recognized insults when I heard them."

The White Ladies of San Diego are one of the city's supernatural powers, organized and led by Graciela. But now their leader is missing, and the Ladies have hired John Smith, mediator and sometimes-private-investigator, to find her. Which raises some questions: How do you track down a ghost? What if she doesn't want to be found? And if foul play was involved in her disappearance like the Ladies believe, how exactly? It's not like ghosts can be kidnapped... right?

John doesn't have any answers. As usual. He also doesn't have much time. The White Ladies aren't known for their patience, and if Graciela can't be found soon, he might just find himself permanently retired.

Chris began as a gleam in someone’s eye, but birth and childhood were quick to follow. He’s been fortunate enough to live in Spain, Germany, and all over the United States of America, and is busy planning a tour of the distilleries of Scotland.

He currently lives in Nevada with his angelic wife and ever-expanding whisky collection and occasionally ventures outside to peer upwards, mutter to himself about ‘day stars’, and then scurry back into the house.

Chris is the author of two series; The Murder of Crows and The Many Travails of John Smith, as well as a collection of novelettes and stand-alone novels, Stories from a Post-Break World, which are set in the world of The Murder of Crows.

Story keeps getting better

For someone who seems to have no talents, is out of shape , broke and constantly getting into trouble, John is actually a real hero. His kindness, compassion, and blindness to danger makes him a for real good guy. Looking forward to what happens next.

Another AMAZING Tullbane Adventure!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

I've been reading superhero novels for the last few years. That is not at all what this book (or series) is about, but his Murder of Crows series is easily one of the best of its kind I've had the privilege to consume (and I do mean consume; I tore my way through them and then and the novelettes in a matter of days, and nights...I literally could not put them down). There's just something about his tone and style, and while this series is altogether different (in tone and style as well as content) it still has his glorious sense of humor and sarcasm, but this series has even more of it! And while I normally enjoy connecting with heroes that are above average, John Smith's complete "averageness" is exactly what makes him so likeable! I'm very much looking forward to the rest of this series!

Normal Human P.I. finds supernatural sense of humor & gets butt kicked... repeatedly!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have held off on reviewing this series because it started off so funny, that I really was afraid it would fizzle out & become a waste of time, but here I have just finished the 3rd book in the series & not only has it stayed fresh, but it has kept me laughing the entire time, as well as slowly fleshing out a lot of the characters in a nice, easy pace, so that I don't feel like I am in an origin story.

I can't really go into detail with this review, because honestly, I feel like everything I say will give too much of this great series away. So if you have a sense of humor, if you like a great story & if you have read my other reviews on other book series' & found them to be the ultimate guide to what you should read, then throw your money at the screen & be happy like me!

Coup coup g'joob....John is the Walrus

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

...nevermind, but there is a coup, ghosts, zombies and witches. The balance of power is shifted in San Diego and the only chance of maintaining the status quo resides with John Smith and his friends. As per usual, John manages to muddle through, but not without numerous issues and unexpected developments. Thoroughly engaging and now I must go read the next book!

Upping the Game

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

I'm a John Smith fan, and the newest chapter of his story not only did not disappoint but offered up a surprising twist to ghost stories—that ghost would need a PI/mediator. I mean, ghosts just generally sort of float around, or toss the knickknacks into the fireplace, right? They don't organize, they don't hold meetings, and they don't hire private investigators to find missing ghosts.

Or do they? They do! Chris Tullbane weaves a series of plot threads into a satisfying John Smith-style ghost story. I still miss Bill, but I love Juliette, and though John clearly loves another, I could see the two of them making an electrifying (and not always in a good way) match. Maybe something will develop between them in The Italian Screw Job? I'm counting the days!

Though this book is a bit darker and more violent than the previous two, If you love urban fantasy, and would rather laugh at and cheer for a group of great characters than cry at the news every day, read The Many Travails of John Smith. Now.

It keeps getting BETTER!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

I can't stop reading this series (literally - this is the second time through the series in two weeks). I haven't laughed so much for a long time. I compare it to Barry J. Hutchinson's Dan Deadman books in the Space Team series. And Chris Tullbane's stories are even more chuckled-filled - and that took some work.
Jon Smith is a great character. His banter is . . . hilarious. His cases are always dangerous, AND he is friends with a fire breathing asparagus. How cool is that?

A rollicking good ride with depth, twists, and hilarity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 22, 2022

A rollicking good ride with depth, twists, and hilarity; starting with a missing ghost, ending up John Smith crazy...

These books keep getting better and better. With the third book from Chris Tullbane in his Many Travails of John Smith series, there's a definite sense that his MC is starting to get into his stride. Not that John ever let being out of his depth beat him over the head (well he would, but he'd still get up after blubbing about it...probably). Although the mystery in this one seems to have a big red arrow pointing to the villain—at least it did for me—this doesn't stop you from enjoying the ride, while John plays catch up. There's delightful cameos from characters past (if you loved them in the previous books, you'll love them dropping in) and hints at something overarching pulsing below the surface. More werewolves, more vampires, more demigods, and more ladies in white; what's a not so good mediator to do? While there's a tad more angst and darkness in parts of this read, there's still plenty of humour to keep your funny bone tickled, and urban fantasy action to magically turn the pages.

O.L.D.

A lot of fun

This series has been an enjoyable read and Book Three was no exception. The cast is expanding a bit and the plot was a little darker than the earlier books but I still liked it and have already downloaded the next one.

I knew from the first book that I would like this series. Now with the third book, those glimmers I saw in the first have come together. This is an enjoyable read with a great mix of humour and plot twists.
