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.

Great drama
This prison drama is brilliant. The woman narrating the book was great and I look forward to the second part.

Didn’t know what to expect and I enjoyed it
The title says it all . Did enjoy it even though at times could seem a little too far fetched.

Glad I didn't pay for it
Interesting idea, certainly of it's time, very farfetched in places, prefer the prime suspect books

Satisfactory
The story was a little slow going in comparison to her other books. There are many others I have enjoyed more.

Everything about this is awesome
This book, so I have to say I totally have a bit of a girl crush on the leading lady. Helen Hewett takes on a new role and my god is she the right woman for the job. The team of prison officers arnt keen when a newbie gets promoted over and above their friend and colleague. The don’t like her ideas, beliefs or rules. They want her to fall. If ever I needed some girl power inspiration, this was the book. I can’t wait to start the second in the series. Thank you audible for recommending it to me.
