About this listen
A riveting story of heroism, heartache, and the power of love to heal all wounds by New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin.
Murphy Shepherd is a man with many secrets. He lives alone on an island, tending the grounds of a church with no parishioners, and he’s dedicated his life to rescuing those in peril. But as he mourns the loss of his mentor and friend, Murph himself may be more lost than he realizes.
When he pulls a beautiful woman named Summer out of Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway, Murph’s mission to lay his mentor to rest at the end of the world takes a dangerous turn. Drawn to Summer, and desperate to find her missing daughter, Murph is pulled deeper and deeper into the dark and dangerous world of modern-day slavery.
With help from some unexpected new friends, including a faithful Labrador he plucks from the ocean and an ex-convict named Clay, Murph must race against the clock to locate the girl before he is consumed by the secrets of his past—and the ghosts who tried to bury them.
With Charles Martin’s trademark lyricism and poignant prose, The Water Keeper is at once a tender love story and a heartrending search for freedom.
“Charles Martin fans rejoice, because he’s done it again . . . a multilayered story woven together with grace and redemption, and packed tight with tension and achingly real characters.” —Lauren Denton, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Hideaway

Riveting
I really like the narrator of this novel. The story grabbed my attention from the first page. It was hard to hear about how these girls are preyed upon by traffickers, but I was caught up in the story throughout the whole narration. Beautiful descriptions and detail in every paragraph.

I wanted to like it more…
Story caused me to roll my eyes often… corny and predictable. Narrators monotone didn’t help. It is an action packed adventure, but quite unbelievable. Subject matter is very serious and important, however.

Great Book
Wow this was an amazing book. It was a little slow at first but then it got really good. The narrator was awesome as well.

Sort of annoying
Decent storyline and action but way too much "feelings" stuff. I wanted to barf half the time. And the narrator's voice grated on me.

4 stars
This is my second completed book by this author, though I own many. I have the other two audiobooks in this series. The narrator, Jonathon K. Riggs, is terrific.
It took me awhile to get into this book. About a 1/4 way through, I was more immersed. Lots of action but many sweet and tender moments.
The author keeps you guessing but it’s largely due to not giving you all the info until toward the end. There were a few points where I was trying to make sense of some stuff, only to learn that important info wasn’t shared. So it wasn’t a matter of keeping me guessing. I really had no choice. I both disliked and liked that.
However, it was still a good novel and I’ll be listening to the others. Trafficking is something that I’m passionate about because too many do not believe how huge and how broad it is.

Love - hate relationship with this one!
All I can say is, it’s like a roller coaster for the heart & there’d better be a sequel coming, FAST!
Like every novel by Martin, I was hooked, and this one had me crying, laughing, shocked and screaming at the book at each swerve the story took. Well written, but I must say, I can’t handle the ending! I NEED a sequel! Haha.

Started off well but then became ridiculous.
The narrator's performance was good, and I'm surprised he could read the ridiculous, childish ending without laughing. Sorry I stuck this one out.
