Description
USA TODAY Bestseller | ECPA Bestseller
With heart-stopping clarity, New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin continues to combine the heart-wrenching emotion of Nicholas Sparks with the edge-of-your-seat tension of John Grisham in this third book in the Murphy Shepherd series--exploring the true cost of leaving the ninety-nine to find the one.
Murphy Shepherd's last rescue mission very nearly cost him his life. He'd like nothing more than to stay close to his wife and daughters for a while. But Bones's nemesis must be stopped, and there are so many who still need to know they are worth rescuing.
As the cat-and-mouse game moves into the open, Murphy is tested at every turn--both physically and mentally. Then the unthinkable happens: his beloved mentor and friend is taken. Gone without a trace.
Murphy lives by the mantra that love always shows up. But how can he rescue Bones when he has no leads?
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!)

I loved this series so much and it so easily moved it's way into my #1 favorite series of all time. I have come to love Martin's writing and he is an auto buy/read author for me. I am looking forward to The Keeper but also dread that this series will be coming to an end. Thank you NetGalley, Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio for the opportunity to listen and review this wonderful book.

Charles Martin is a master with the pen. I just finished The Record Keeper and it was amazing. I loved it.

Thank you Netgalley and Thomas Nelson for the gifted book I read along with the library audio!
After his last mission got wildly personal, Murphy Shepherd is now fully entrenched in a revenge mission that is making him use every fiber of his mental and physical acuity to defeat the enemy.
This third book in the series is the resolution I didn't even know I was craving. It is suspenseful and poignant at the same time. Martin is the kind of writer that wraps their arm around your shoulder and guides you through the ups and downs of the narrative. And in this third book his writing style really shines as he brings home the themes of this series in the most touching of ways and the resolution is so bittersweet that you can't help but feel all the feelings.

This is the third book in The Keeper Series and this is my second time reading the book, first time via audiobook. Again, the narrator does an excellent job with the story. As I read this book this time, I was overwhelmed by the overriding theme of the sacrificial love of Christ portrayed by Bones, Murphy Sheperd's mentor. Martin does a bang up job of putting this indescribable gift into a more tangible way for our feeble minds to attempt to wrap around. This was originally going to be the last book in the series, from my understanding, but I was so happy to learn there is a fourth installment coming in April.

The third and last book in the Murphy Shepherd series. This is an intense series. This book focuses on Bones and his life. His life was one of tragedy, unwantedness, and finding a place to belong. All of which he found with Shep and Freetown. But what he wanted most was his twin brother, Frank, who was anything but nice to him. This series is about the topic of sex trafficking, something that needs much more focus to resolve and eliminate in the world. This is a fantastic series, well laid out, engaging and recommend for people who like to get to know the characters and invested in the story. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity.
