⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SUMMARY
For years, two men have been side-by-side rescuing women and children who have been victims of human trafficking. But now Murphy Shepherd’s best friend, mentor, and spiritual advisor is dead. Bones was everything to Murphy, and though devastated, he realizes he must go on.
Shortly after Bones's funeral, Murphy gets a call from long-time friend, Aaron Ashley. Ashley, Vice President of the US has always been a behind-the-scenes supporter of the trafficking rescue work that Murphy and Bones have performed. Now, despite the best security in the world, Ashley’s three daughters have been kidnapped without a trace, and nine Secret Service agents are dead. Ashley needs Murphy to find his daughters and bring them home safe.
REVIEW
The Keeper is an action-packed and heart-wrenching book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Its characters and story will leave you speechless and yearning for more. The theme of human trafficking continues with this evil kidnapping, and despite his devastating loss, Murphy Shephard will stop at nothing to bring these three girls home.
Charles Martin is a great storyteller, and I loved the backstory of how Aaron Ashley and Murphy Shepherd became friends. You can’t help but feel the intensity of the drama of this epic story, particularly when Ashley is compelled to resign his position, unknowingly clearing a path for a man with no morals.
I have read and loved all of Charles Martin's works of fiction. In them, he writes of Christian themes in a soulful and meaningful way and a light touch. Martin is a depth, particularly in this series, at giving readers a look at both evil and love. While this book has innumerable flashbacks, I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance reading copy of this book. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
