A review by parklandmom
The Letter Keeper by Charles Martin
4.0
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 1/4 (4.25 stars)
Read: July 2024
Format: Audible audiobook
Narrator: Jonathon K. Riggs
Challenge Prompt: CNL’s #35 - “By a male author.”
Book #65 of 2024:
The second book in this series proved to be even better than the first one. I liked that this one focused more on the girls, the relationship between Murphy/David and Summer, Freetown, etc. the horrors and depravity of trafficking will always be worse than even a great writer can put into words but the author does a really stellar job without it being used as a “selling point,” so to speak.
I felt this book helped us to understand all the predominant characters more as people, the effects of trafficking, and the vigilance that is necessary to be as safe as possible and protect the vulnerable.
My only two negatives:
1. There is a lot of “extra” sometimes that I feel could be left out each time I read one of his books. For lack of a better word, there are times I feel there is unnecessary filler.
2. Of the books I’ve read by this author, they always have a common denominator — vital info that the reader has no idea about until the end. Some may view it as a plus but it makes me feel a little cheated to not at least have a hint of some sort. They come out of left field.
