Summary

The crime doesn't always fit the punishment.

A life-and-death hostage situation at Barfield High Security prison brings Governor Helen Hewitt back to her old stomping ground. But things have changed at Barfield.

A new, highly dangerous prisoner poses a threat to the peace, and when discord boils over, the prisoners join forces in an audacious escape attempt. As violence erupts among the officers and the inmates, Hewitt must once again restore order. Before it's too late.

Based on the popular TV series starring Janet McTeer, the complete and unabridged Governor series is now available for the first time in audio.

Enjoyable - until the ending.

I enjoyed the book until it came to an abrupt end & it doesn’t look like there is a third in the series. Nothing worse than a book that seems unfinished from a readers point of view. I feel like I wasted my time listening to it for it to end like that.

A bit of an abrupt end

And not as good as the first book. It is a shame. Felt like she ran out of steam on this one.

A good book ruined by the ending.

If there isn't to be a third book then this was a complete waste of time. The book ends before the story is completed and although I was enjoying the book, the ending ruins this and I'm left wondering why did I bother?

Fabulous

I have just finished listening to the two audios of the Governor series by Lynda La Plante. I have long been a fan of her work and have quite a collection. So time ago I began to listen to her work on Audible. I have to say that I enjoyed them all over again.
Lately, I purchased The Governor and The Governor part 2; never, have I listened to two more thrilling, exciting, audibles. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I highly recommend them. I await eagerly for a part 3!

Poor sequel

As often happens, the sequel is not as good as the original. Shame really.
The story is far fetched and lacks credibility, the ending begs for another book which hopefully doesn’t get written or is written by someone else.
Sounds harsh but I assure you that it’s merited

Disappointing

Ending is extremely disappointing. Assume after this length of time there is no Part 3.
Wish I hadn’t listened to them. Expected better from this author

What's next?

I really enjoyed this story. It was full of action, life, and death. My only complaint was the last chapter. How did it go with The Mikado? How did it go with the governer at the end of the book? Is there going to be a "The Governor Part 3?"

Brilliant compelling prison drama

Absolutely loved this second book in the series, compelling a page turner so good to follow characters through in the storyline, I do hope there will be a 3rd book, narration was brilliant and added to the storyline
