Synopsis

USA TODAY Bestseller | ECPA BestsellerCombining the heart-wrenching emotion of Nicholas Sparks with the edge-of-your-seat tension of John Grisham, New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin explores the true power of sacrificial love in this second book in the Murphy Shepherd series.Murphy Shepherd has made a career of finding those no one else could--survivors of human trafficking. His life's mission is helping others find freedom . . . but then the nightmare strikes too close to home.When his new wife, her daughter, and two other teenage girls are stolen, Murphy is left questioning all he has thought to be true. With more dead ends than leads, he has no idea how to find his loved ones. After everything is stripped away, love is what remains.Hope feels lost, but Murphy is willing to expend his last breath trying to bring them home.With Charles Martin's trademark lyricism and poignant prose, the Murphy Shepherd series is at once a tender love story, a heartrending search for freedom, an exploration of the terrible cost of human trafficking, and an anthem to the power of love to create change when it shows up regardless of the cost.The Murphy Shepherd series: Book 1: The Water Keeper, Book 2: The Letter Keeper, Book 3: The Record Keeper, Book 4: The Keeper (coming April 2025!)

Goodreads review by Lindsey on May 28, 2021

It has taken me a couple of days to figure out how to word my review. When I finished the book I was totally and utterly speechless, crying like a crazy woman and couldn't possibly write a worthy review of this book. I still don't feel like I can adequately put into words a review that will give glo......more

Goodreads review by Darla on July 02, 2022

For me, this was the perfect recipe for the second book of a trilogy. The first one was firing on all cylinders. There was. So. Much. Action. In this second book, Murphy returns to Freetown with the four women he rescued in 'The Water Keeper.' This is not 'happy ever after,' but there is hope. Unfor......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on June 07, 2021

The latest offering from Martin takes quite a while to get going, but when it does it packs a serious punch and solidifies for me what a talented writer he is. Honestly, I waffled with my rating, I went back and forth between a three and a four, but I'm going to settle with 3.5 stars, rounded up. Th......more

Goodreads review by Judy on April 22, 2021

Charles Martin's books are always inspiring to me. They are filled with hope, sacrifice, and love. The Letter Keeper is the second book in the Murphy Shepherd series and I hope there will be many more to come. The characters are vivid and arresting. The plot is action-packed, yet filled with truths......more

Goodreads review by Oceana on June 03, 2023

I'm torn between a 4 and a 5. An amazing follow up to The Water Keeper. The plot isn't as streamlined as the Water Keeper, so the pacing took a bit to get used to. It got more streamlined in the second half. The first half focused on the healing and recovery of the trafficked girls that Murphy Shephe......more


Quotes

Martin follows up The Water Keeper with this heartrending, action-packed chapter in the saga of Murphy Shepherd . . . Martin's characters authentically wrestle with faith under trying circumstances, and the narrative casts light on the underworld of sex trafficking and those risking everything to save the victims. This isn't the place to start for newcomers, but those familiar with the series will appreciate the emotional punch this rip-roaring adventure packs. Publishers Weekly
