The Water Keeper was
the September selection for the Rogue (FLICKS) Book Club after we won the book
from the TLC Book club giveaway. We had
our meeting the last week of September.
Murphy Shepherd has
recently lost his mentor and has a quest to bring his ashes to where they
met. He is a secretive man that helps
those in peril. He meets a mother that
has lost her daughter to a shadowy crew that traffics young girls on yachts
around Florida. Summer wants to find her
daughter April and Murphy is determined to help her. He also meets a faithful Labrador Retriever,
an ex-con named Clay, and a mysterious girl named Ellie. Will Murphy be able to reunite mother and daughter? What is Murphy’s past?
We all agreed that
this book was hard to get into as the beginning was confusing. Once you got into the story it was engaging. The one complaint was that there were too
many threads of the story going on – it could have just focused on the main
story. For myself once I realized it was
an action-adventure story, I could suspend my disbelieve and enjoy the ride. I enjoyed the book and do want to see how the
story continues in book two. It was also
distressing to learn more about human trafficking and to think about this happening
to young girls.
Overall, The Water
Keeper is an action-adventure story with unique twists.
