The Italian Screwjob

Many Travails of John Smith, Book 4

By: Chris Tullbane

Narrated by: Joel Richards

"Do you do this sort of thing a lot?"

"Fly across the world to defend someone from murder accusations with my own life hanging in the balance?" I shook my head. "It's less common than you might think."

It's been several years since John Smith became San Diego's supernatural mediator, and he's as surprised to still be alive as anyone. A lot of the credit goes to Anastasia, the vampire whose relationship status with John can be safely filed under 'It's complicated.'

So, when Ana is imprisoned for the murder of Tomasso, King of the Italian Court, John drops everything to go to her defense. If he can find the real killer—and unravel a centuries-old mystery in the process—his trip to Rome might have a storybook ending. If he comes up empty, he'll lose more than just the woman he loves.

John has survived a lot of things—divorces, conspiracies, even angry demigods—but politics can be deadly even before regicide is thrown into the mix. This case is looking more and more like an Italian screwjob.

Best book in series, so far

Book 4 was excellent!! Looking forward to book 5. I love the characters and storylines.

Another awesome book in the series

Utterly Fantastic!!! I can’t wait for the next book to be released., hopefully very soon.

Best in the Series

Pretty sure this book will go down as the best in this series.

I loved every 22 hours of this sloppy investigation and all 12 of the near death experiences.

John finally grows. I finally see him taking things seriously.

My opinion, but I'm not sure why authors find the need to have "virgins" falling in love with century old vampires. But if the women do it, I guess we can't be annoyed if a male author does it. John isn't a virgin, but a 26 year old practicing abstinence. 🤷🏽‍♀️ nothing wrong with abstinence, I just wonder why this set up occurs in so many Vampire novels.

I don't have time for an indepth review right now, because I need to jump to the next book ☺️ This dude is getting all my book money this month.

The Magnum Opus of John Smith

By far my favorite book on the series. Great story telling, great characters, great setting.

Hilarious! Excited for book 5

This is probably my favorite in the series. John's forced to save his love interest, and is out of league investigating a centuries long conspiracy in Rome the vampire capital. It introduces a new cast of characters, and takes place outside the usual setting. It's funny as hell, and the mystery side of things was interesting. Loved it, and am excited to see where book 5 takes things.
