A Wolf by the Ears by A.S.A Durphy

 A Wolf by the Ears, by A.S.A. Durphy is an action and thriller novel.  Gracie, is a private detective who is waiting for her next case and to show her mettle to fellow detective, Walker.  Her next case shows up as a scared young man who claims he is being framed. Zach explains that he found a flash drive taped under his desk and it had complicated information on it that he didn't understand.  He thinks his boss put it there.  They take the case and it is their job to keep him alive and out of jail.  Walker and Gracie take turns in following Zach's boss, Graff.  It is while following Graff, that Gracie meets the assassins, Red and Blue.  Instead of killing her, they give her a warning.  Next what follows is mayhem.  Murder, espionage, missing client, can Walker and Gracie find Zach before the bad guys do and keep him safe?  Gracie will do anything to save her client even put herself in harms way.  You will have to read the book to find out. 

What I find intriguing is that Gracie is talking to two ghosts periodically through the book.  The ghosts is her dad and her former partner, who you meet in the first book.  You also meet her brother and a friend.  Gracie is still recovering from her wounds that she received in the first book but that doesn't stop her from protecting her client.  When you read this series, you get the perspective from all the characters, from the main to the least.  Which I find interesting since majority of the books are mainly from one perspective.  You also get the sense that she has issues which lead her to her shrink.

 I love the fact that this is the second book in this series and that it continues from the first book.  Another thing is that it is told from different perspectives but mainly Gracie and Walker's since they are the main characters in this book.  This book is great that it captures my attention from the moment I start reading until the very last word.  After reading this book, the reader will want to get the third book and continue reading on.

 For me, there wasn't anything that I didn't like about the book.  It is fantastic.  Readers will see that the characters all come alive with their own unique characteristics. In some books you read there will be errors or flaws but there isn't any in this case.

 I rate A Wolf by the Ears by A.S.A. Durphy,  4 out of 4. This book has excitement, espionage, murder, a missing witness, action and characters that you root for and ones you don't.  I rated this book the way I did because I didn't notice any errors, it caught my attention and kept it and also because the characters and the concept of it came together perfectly.   I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books with action, espionage, murder and a victim that is being framed.  And I think this book would be for the readers who loves reading about female private detectives.
