Blackwell Beginnings...

NEFARIOUS: a fast-paced foray charting the investigation of an ex-Army captain and an intelligent, beautiful FBI agent into a covert, sinister project.
"A heady thriller that gathers force with the understated menace of a tidal wave, then smashes home...Readers will be absorbed by Freeman's never-flashy expertise...Superb touches of eeriness creep in." Kirkus Indie Reviews

RUTHLESS: Alton and Mallory strive to identify the culprit behind a series of perplexing homicides, racing to unravel the mystery in time to avoid becoming the killer’s next victims. But will their growing relationship survive the presence of the beautiful Chelsea Mancini, who seems to lie in the center of the chaos?

These 3 stories are very good and well thought out. The 2 main characters have been through a war and then have taken jobs in different cities. The characters are believable and the situations are challenging enough to keep a readers attention. I believe that as this writer gains more experience that his prose will become more fluid. Overall a great start.

The downside to reading a series of suspense novels as a boxed set rather than individually over a period of time, is that you immediately see the author's formula writing techniques. That said, I found the set a quick read and entertaining.The stories themselves were interesting, if somewhat implausible. The first two were pretty good, but I found the third one, which took place in a hospital and hospice setting, to be predictable and contrived. I didn't particularly relish Alton's "protector" status relative to Mallory, which was reiterated throughout the stories over and over, nor did I feel that the idea of saving themselves for marriage added anything to the relationships or the stories It could have been omitted altogether, keeping the reader guessing. Unless the author was trying to appeal to a "family values" readership, it didn't add anything to the plot, and came across as contrived and irrelevant. Either get married, sleep together or don't talk about it at all, but we are all adults here, and if it was supposed to be dramatic, it wasn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this collection to the end

The three major works in this collection are all I expected them to be. A great set of thrilling novels with a good chunk of humanity. On the other hand that tiny short story at the end is probably the author’s best work. Sometimes an author gets a special hit of inspiration and writes a perfect,usually very short, story. This one is one that I’ll remember for a long time.

The stories were good & the characters well developed. What bothered me was all the over-the-top vocabulary the author used. Really, people don't use words like that in every day conversation. Even the "thought" passages were eye-rolling. The other bothersome thing was the Perry Mason like endings where the lead characters took turns explaining how they solved the mysteries with all of the "culprits"/"perpetrators" present. So, not horrible, but seriously not the best reads.

BOOK.1. As I started and wondered is it going to be only about Afghanistan. That is only a small part, this is about the characters, the scheme of missions that fail, the friendship that was needed, and so much more. It draws you in, and your heart goes out for Alton, a shattered leg, and self confidence. A bomb and seeing a young girl badly injured he picks her up and carries inside for medical help. With that he knew there was no more chance of returning to the field, with more damage done to his leg.The career he excelled in, like no one else, and still needed, but at a desk. The chance to use his skill in the tracking of Al Qaeda. The list of what all this story covers, is many and its only the first book. Definitely one to read.
BOOK 11
Jay Mancini son of a mobster family was killed with multiple gun shots. A niece Chelsea comes to Alton saying only he can figure out who. Days later Jay’s girlfriend is killed..The.body count goes up, the wrong address for the pizza guy, when will it end. The romance of David and Fatima, will she get a visa, she needs to have a lot of money to come .Good story we got to know the couples better, and the murders to figure out,
BOOK 111
Alton is in a frenzy about to meet his girlfriend’s mother, a retired General. While Mallery was sleeping on the couch, he stated how he felt about her. At Mallery work she was given a case to look into missing drugs, the administrator at a hospice suspects An employees is stealing them. Since she is good at paper trailing. Then with David’s father being admitted they all are there seeing what is happening. Surprised trip for Alton and Mallory Which leave you hanging as they get on the plane.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling and suspense filled series
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2016

Overall, 'The Blackwell Files: Volumes 1, 2 & 3' were quite intriguing books. They do need some more editing, but it wasn't so bad that I couldnt follow the stories. 'Nefarious', 'Ruthless' and 'T Wave' were all full of deceit, suspense, thrilling scenarios, romance and an abundance of characters who fit the role of 'bad guys'. Alton and Mallory make such a great team. They truly compliment each other and their strengths make them the ideal couple. David and Fahima are such an awesome couple. Their romance was so endearing. This series had me hooked from the first chapter in the first book and didn't let go. I look forward to reading more.

Good character development, good story line and easy to read. I enjoyed all three books in the set.I would have liked each to have been easier to believe in parts of the stories. I have no direct knowledge of the FBI, however some parts of the stories just worked out too easily thus making them suspect instead of normal.

I had read The Dig before realising that it was book 8 in The Blackwell Files. I enjoyed The Dig so much that when l realised there were others l decided l wanted to read the series preferability in the correct order. I am so glad l did. Having read the box set of Volumes 1,2 & 3 l am enthralled by the characters of Alton, Mallory, David and Fahima. The writer Freeman has established these characters with a background of their lives and shown us the reader their capacity for Mortality. From meeting in Afghanistan where three of the characters were deployed on military duty and meeting Fahima through each adventure one envolving a research pharmaceutical company another unexplained deaths in a hospital l have come to love these characters.. They are welcome characters and l am going to enjoy reading the rest of the books.

Freeman keeps you engaged with fresh characters and plotlines woven about the central characters Alton and Mallory. Their relationship blossoms in this first trilogy as they solve murders and outsmart the bad guys with determination and skill. Not edge of your seat good, but definitely worthy of four stars.
