Don’t read alone in the house unless you’re prepared to get goosebumps. This book was a great chilling read!
I adore a good intrigue, one that keeps me hopping as this author can do. In this one we are given a whopper of a one. The characters will do the honor of luring us in.
Liam and Harper will have us following them as murders and secrets will be what is on the menu to uncover. Being a fan of a certain murder and mystery channel this one will rank right up there with them. Oh that Harper you can not but help like her. Hauntings will play a part of her being uneasy. Liam has alot on his plate but that doesn’t stop him from getting the answers he needs. The two of them together make a good mix.
The clues will be unexpected with you thinking you know but then bam you are in the dark again but talk about a good mystery this is it.
I am always happy to recommend Debbie’s books – she’s great at writing thrillers, and her villains are the best.
Wow, danger, romance and suspense all in one fast-moving book! After many years, Harper Catlett returns to the painful memories of her home town and the house in which her sister died when she was a teenager. It was called an accident, but Harper has always suspected something more sinister. She returns because her mother has died and the old house’s affairs must be put in order, but things start to happen that frighten her. Enter Liam Andrews, a local police officer investigating a string of murders of homeless men. Harper comes to him, frightened by eerie sounds in the house and a threatening email warning her to get out. Liam is one of the few people who is willing to help her discover if her suspicions are real or only in her mind, and he joins her in her sleuthing. They are both immensely likeable, and make a wonderful team.
This novel has everything you’d want – mystery, danger, not knowing who to trust, and wonderful characters to root for. It is so well written that you feel caught up in its world, and keep turning the pages trying to solve the mystery. Well done, Debbie Herbert, I loved UNMASKING THE SHADOW MAN, and couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended, five stars!!
Harper Catlett has spent years wondering about a tragic event from her past, an event that has left holes in her life. Liam Andrews, a man from her hometown, has questions about things that may be related to Harper’s past. Each is haunted by things that neither can solve without the other. Together, they may be able to find the answers that they both need, but will they be able to do that before more trouble finds them? Well… You’ll have to read the story to find out.
This story is full of intrigue, mystery, suspense and danger. The whole book (story, characters, settings) are all so realistic that you will have no trouble imagining it happening in real life. There are new mysteries and stunning revelations around every corner. There were several moments when I felt like I needed to pinch myself to understand what I had just read, to make myself comprehend it all. I mean that in a good way. The story left me so speechless that, at times, my DH asked if I was ok. LOL!
This story kept me interested until the very end, glued to the very edge of my seat, and I know that if you give this one a chance you won’t regret a second of it.
Well done to the author on a fantastic story.

Hmmm….it’s been a minute since I’ve read an Intrigue. I had truly forgotten what they were like…so I was intrigued (no pun intended) when I received a copy of this book. All I can say is, Wow! I have been really missing out on things.
The characters (main and secondary), the storyline, the danger and intrigue, and ultimately the resolution, make this book a real page-turner. Ms. Herbert is a wicked-good storyteller. I definitely recommend this book.
Unmasking the Shadow Man is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From the beginning until the end I couldn’t put this book down. It had a suspenseful storyline with mystery, danger and wonderful characters. I can’t wait to read the next book and I would definitely recommend this one.
Very interesting. A lot is happening, several investigations so the level of suspense is really high and we stay glued on our seat wanting to discover what is happening to Harper’s house, what happened to her sister, who killed the homeless and so much more as the story progress….we only get the answers at the very end of the book which is wonderful. Guessing the culprit too early strip the story of part of his fun; here it’s not the case.
The characters are really interesting and their personalities deep. The author built them with care and we enjoy following them in their investigation. The pace of the story is just what we need with touch of romance from time to time to balance with the dark side of some investigation so this is a really great written romance suspense
I just love this author’s books. She never disappoints. This one was so suspenseful with a mix of romance. I don’t know how she does it but she can always put just the right amount of romance and still keep it clean, plus be a satisfying read for those who like a lot of romance.
Liam was such a great character. He’s an undercover agent working as a cop in the local police department. He’s investigating what seems to be some bad gambling and sex trafficking goings on, not to mention the many deaths of homeless people over a stretch of years. In walks Harper with a report of some random email to get out of the house. She hasn’t been back in town long and is only there for her mother’s funeral and tie up loose ends with the house. The homeplace is too painful for her with the memory of her sister dying in the house when she was a teenager. And who or what was the creature she saw standing near the body? It was frail and dressed in rags. Now that she’s back, the eerie sounds have started all over again.
There was so much going on in this book. I couldn’t put it down. Be prepared to stay up all night reading.
I absolutely loved this book! It immediately dives right in and never slows down! You’ll have half the book read before you realize! From the start it mentions the eerie things that happen in the house and expresses Harper’s fears. Also Harper’s and Liam’s bond starts practically from the moment they see each other and they are connected in a way that makes the book so much more special! This book was amazing and I highly suggest it to anyone!
Back in the day, I loved Harlequin Intrigue, but somehow I sorta drifted away. But thanks to authors like Debbie Herbert, I’m back!!!!
This book has wonderful characters, a great plot, and is filled with page turning, murder, mayhem, unpredictable twists and turns, and yes, a little romance.
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
