A Dead Man's Favor

The Many Travails of John Smith, Book 5

By: Chris Tullbane

Narrated by: Joel Richards

Now that he's back home in San Diego, life is looking up for John Smith, hapless P.I. and supernatural mediator.

And sure, there may be a few flies in the ointment, like the little matter of an ongoing goblin war, the disappearance of John's chief mediator rival, and an ever-growing list of questions about the suspicious events of the past few years, but those are all topics for another day. It's wedding season and the sun is shining, the weather is perfect, and the early fall air is thick with the scent of-

Wait. Is that rotting flesh?

San Diego's zombie prince, Simon, may be long dead, but his descendants are still around and kicking, and one of them, his great-great granddaughter, just went missing. Now, Simon wants John to track her down.

John has never worked across state lines before, but clearly that's going to change. And while New Mexico might not be quite as blissful as Catalina Island, it still sounds pretty sweet. After all, John and his friends have already survived gods, witches, werewolves, and the terrifying guacamole shortage of 2013. What sort of challenge could this case possibly offer by comparison?

He's about to find out.

Another great book in the series

I am not going to lie, I had assumed the series ended with the last book, but I am so incredibly happy it is continuing.

Tulbane is incredible at writing characters that grow, as per usual, we follow John Smith, slob turned investigator turned badass.

If you liked the previous books you'll like this one as well, while some story themes tend to repeat, they arent dull, because each time they happen John has become more confident and competent, so he solves problems both faster and in more interesting ways.

Loved this book

Great series. I love the characters and story. This is book 5 and i hope it is not the last book. Keep the series going!! Please

John Smith review

This series has fast become one of my favorites. after getting the first book about a month and a half back, I’ve binge listened to the rest. The characters and setting draw you in, the author does a great job. I just hope he keeps this series going.

Great series. Easy entertainment, humor riddled.

The main characters are great!This series is very creative. There are some relationship aspects that seem added in just to check a box for the diversity police, but overall it’s entertaining.

good

i do not want to write about this book. i want to give it a star rating and be done
