About this listen
No one is above the law.
Barfield Prison is one of the toughest high-security prisons in England, housing the country's most dangerous criminals. And when an inmate is found dead in his cell, a riot breaks out, forcing the authorities to investigate a potential murder.
Despite being Barfield's youngest ever female Governor, Helen Hewitt is seen as the best woman for the job. But with a prison full of corrupt and suspicious officers, restless inmates and a broken system, Helen has her work cut out - and no allies to help her....
Based on the popular TV series starring Janet McTeer, the complete and unabridged Governor series is now available for the first time in audio.

In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows.

So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Great story
I enjoyed this story, but the first part felt independent from the rest, almost as if they were separate books: a prequel and a sequel. The story was engaging though the addition of so many insignificant characters made it feel confusing. I was a bit let down by such a major plot line (*spoiler: helicopter escape) wasn't even mentioned again or brought to a conclusion. I'll read the second book because I want to see if all the above are resolved there.
I listened on Audible and the narrator is absolutely one of my favorites as of recently and she made this story infinitely better.

Became Boring
I have 5 hours to go to complete this audio and have listened intently thus far. I have realized after 10 hours listening I have yet to identify a purpose or theme to this story.
I have been surprised at the complexity of running a prison and the staff as well as controlling the high profile prisoners but at this point I’m becoming bored. I have made the decision I do not want to invest another 5 hours to this story. The narration is very good.

Determined
This story shows the strong determination of a prison official trying to do the best job possible with the cards they’ve been dealt. It reflects some of the highs and lows of working in the prison system. I was amazed how she overcame all the odds to win the respect of the staff.

I could not wait to pickup from where I left off
I will be honest in saying that I almost did not finish this book because I found my interest fading. What gripped me is the truthfulness of what goes on behind prison walls and the constant danger that staff and inmates alike face. This was educational and very informative.
It was almost disbelieving how much the staff encounter so frequently, but believable at the same time since I watch prison documentaries.
I would find it difficult to be on constant alert of this magnitude. Also, it was comical and I laughed out loud throughout the book. Just listening to the juvenile behavior and banter between the inmates kept me engaged.
Lastly, the narrator always keeps my attention. I have listened to her narrate other masterpieces and she did not dissapoint this time around either.

Amazing!
Interesting plot/idea, The Governor. A complicated story, very well told. An insight into the tangled web of prison politics, unraveled with a lot of insight into both the prisoners' life's, that of those in daily contact with them, as well as those managing both on the outside. Not just a story, but one made that much more interesting in the telling of all the facts, dynamics, and details. Am on to Part II of The Governor.

It was okay …
This was okay, although I really wanted to like it more than i did as the story line is right up my alley.
I found there was at times a lot of information coming at me at once, a lot of characters to try and keep straight, and a lot of flipping between story lines, without enough of a pause for me to keep track.
I was doing a lot of rewinding and listening again because I couldn’t either follow the change of direction or figure out who we were talking about.
These issues could have been the narrator - but I’ve listened to other books my this narrator and not had this problem.

Not my cup of tea
La Plante's writing and research is always excellent, but I lost interest in following all the assorted plots and profiles. Perhaps British penitentiary protocol is not a compelling topic for me....
