Leaving behind her family and all that
she held dear, Valerie, a small town bookkeeper under a
witness protection program, is shocked to her core when Alex
Naumov arrives at her doorstep. Alex is a detective whose is
the epitome of gallantry. Courteous to a fault, he knows
what it will take to keep his latest client safe. He’s been
sent to get Valerie to safety after it has been determined
that a man she put behind bars five years ago wants her
dead. Valerie doesn’t want to leave the home she’s created
for herself. Having lost too much before she’s not quite
ready to accept that her life is actually in danger. Someone
from her past, however, won’t rest until he’s finally
severed Faith, once and for all.
I’m always boggled that a story is placed in the Suspense
genre even though the reader is aware pretty early on who
the killer is. In Keeping Faith, Valerie and
Alex are on a journey of personal growth as they both try to
keep her alive. Alex, the no nonsense detective who believes
in playing by the book, and Valerie, who seems to be
gradually losing hope that she will ever be the woman she
was before this nightmare began. R.E. Matheson wrote an
intriguing story but one I have to admit was a little slow
for my tastes. With that said I was impressed at the
development of the relationship and the emotions the
characters shared. The story really set a tone of love,
understanding and acceptance. I look forward to Ms.
Matheson’s next book because Keeping Faith was still a solid
story and one I’m sure many readers will enjoy. |
