Wow, they weren't joking when they billed this story as action packed, edge of your seat reading! This story has Davis Rogers going undercover as PA to CEO Leila Petrov in the hope of discovering how defective versions of the body armour her firm produces has been used with fatal results. Leila can't believe anyone she knows could be double crossing her or putting the firm in danger but someone is framing her and needs stopping. Can she work with Davis? Will she really support his investigations

This book begins with the unthinkable, an act of greed that will make you angry, but why and who is responsible?
One of the FBI agents called into investigate this horrible crime is Davis Rogers, and for him this is personal, he knew one of the victims, and he wants justice!
We also meet the young CEO of the company that is responsible for making the armor,Leila Petrov, and she is soon involved in the investigation, but, you wonder if she is involved?

I picked this book up in search of a fast moving mystery with a touch of romance as I have come to love from Elizabeth's books. I was absolutely not disappointed. We started with failed body armor, and rapidly moved to an investigation into how that happened. Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome went inside the company and started digging. Death, struggles, love, and relationships all came into play. They were intricately tied together, then unraveled and everything came nicely together in the end. I was

Secret Investigation takes on an intriguing case of faulty body armor and a family-owned business with lots of secrets. The plot is solid, with some good twists, though there are times you have to suspend belief a bit regarding the way the investigation plays out.
I wasn't crazy about the romance between Davis and Leila. For me, there was way too much fawning and swooning between the two, especially given their positions as an experienced FBI agent and a company CEO. Aside from the physical attra ...more

I must say, I highly recommend this book. I read this book in two sitting only because life got in the way! I love the way Elizabeth Heiter engages the reader from the first page. And she keeps one guessing throughout the book. A crime so very personal to the investigator, Agent Davis Rogers. A manufacturer that is selling defaulted goods intentionally. The crime is killing people, people who are there to keep us all safe. I kept going back and forth on the good guys versus the bad guys. I am lo

The second installment in the Tactical Crime Division miniseries brings a new set of characters and a new threat to neutralize. We briefly met Davis Rogers in the first book and this one gives us a chance to get to know him. The mystery is well-developed as is character motivation. The romance is a little thin, but definitely worth a read.

I have been enjoying the mystery behind each of these books. In this one they are trying to solve the reason why an armor wasn't working when it should have. Meeting Leila Petrov was fun. For she was responsible and cared about her business. Agent Davis Rogers lost a friend so he wants answers. The way Elizabeth wrote the book there is alot of action and mystery in this story. The bad guy in this story will definitely surprise you. I like how Elizabeth shows the interest Leila and Davis have in

Fantastic story that gripped me from the first page to the last. FBI agent Davis Rogers was devastated to learn of the death of a friend of his when her unit's body armor failed. When he learns that his team will investigate the manufacturer, he wants in on the assignment. He is determined to bring the traitor to justice.
CEO Leila Petrov was horrified to discover that her company's armor had failed so badly. She is more than willing to give Davis unlimited access during his undercover operation. ...more

The spectacular failure of supposedly-powerful, ultra-strong, bullet-stopping full body armor leads to the deaths of a group of soldiers and launches an investigation by the FBI’s Tactical Crime Division. Petrov Armor, once a supplier of both guns and armor, has shuttered their gun division and now, under CEO Leila Petrov, focuses solely on body armor . . . the same body armor worn by the doomed soldiers.

Grief, betrayal, secrets, and loyalties are driving this intense investigation to the devastating loss of soldiers on the field, and the CEO Leila Petrov is doing everything in her power to clear her company's name.
Leila has fought her way to the top even though many think that she is there just because of her bloodline. She is hardworking, smart, loyal, capable, professional and she is willing to fight for what she believes is right. I liked her, her drive, her ability to handle tough situatio ...more

This is the second book in a planned four book series within the Tactical Crime Division (TCD). I totally read them out of order. I still need to order the first one, then I read the third one and now I read the second one. So, I guess they can be read as stand-alone and totally make sense...but I normally choose to read them in order. Somewhere along the way, I was not paying attention. I was particularly looking forward to this one because I enjoy Elizabeth Heiter’s Harlequin Intrigue books. H

If you require more romance than suspense or even equal parts romance and suspense, Secret Investigation may not be what you're looking for. This one is kind of romance adjacent. There are looks exchanged and Leila and Davis clearly share an attraction, but I just didn't get the romance vibe from these two. There's also what seems to be a little something going on between a couple of the other members of the team in this one, but there are only hints of what it could lead to. What this one does

Secret Investigation by Elizabeth Heiter is a fast-paced novel full of intrigue. There was plenty of action to keep my attention. The suspense of who is behind the failed armor for military usage is great! I did not suspect the person who actually was behind it all. The suspects list is comprised of characters that truly looked guilty. But it was only a matter of time for the Tactical Crime Division to rule out who is guilty or innocent. The danger escalated with every page. The CEO, Leila, has
