I cannot give this book, The Keeper, enough praise. My attention was kept drawn to this thriller thoughout its many pages. Oh, except for some of the guns and weaponry descriptions and usage that sort of went over my head. Those readers who are in the know about such things will likely enjoy these offerings. However, I did learn something especially for when a target is a long distance away.
What really impacted me as I read through the story was the allegory of love; that is, God's unconditional love. I very much appreciated that. The author, Charles Martin, helped me grasp some of the depth, sacrifice and risks that this type of love will make and take.
Yes, there is some sweet romance woven into the story as well as tears and laughter, mystery and action.
Another aspect I liked about this story is that Martin addresses human trafficking and it's despicableness; it's darkness and organized evil, the abject horror of it and the devastating effects upon its victims. Thankfully there was the saving grace of rescuers that kindled hope and help towards both the victims' recovered and their subsequent recovery and healing process.
This is the fourth book in the Murphy Shepherd series. We meet Bones, Murph, Summer, Ellie, Casey, Camp and Eddie among others of the 'good guys'. We also meet some of the bad guys so stay alert.
The icing on the cake, which we can also 'eat', is that this is a faith-based narrative. So all-in-all, I give this book and author a 5 - Star rating and a thumbs up salute.
