Publisher's Summary

***When you’re working undercover the smallest mistake can cost you your life.

'A riveting read full of tension and suspense with a vivid cast of characters and an enticing plot.' *Heather Burnside

**

Detective Constable Bailey Morgan has been out of the undercover game since her last job went horribly wrong, leaving her with scars inside and out.

When her colleague Alice is found dead whilst working deep cover in a women’s prison, Bailey steps in to replace her.

Working alone, Bailey embarks on a dangerous journey through the murky underbelly of the prison and soon discovers that Alice’s death was part of a spate of brutal murders.

Surrounded by prison officers, criminals and lowlifes, the slightest mistake could cost Bailey her life.

*Heart-stopping and gripping. Perfect for the fans of hit TV shows such as *Line of Duty, Orange is the New Black and *Bad Girls.

Adequately Entertaining

Do Not download 'Jailbird' expecting to be blown away by a pulsepounding Suspense-Thriller. What you will get is a creditable audiobook and a reasonable way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons. Caro Savage provides an interesting scenario where a traumatized/once-tortured Police Officer ('Bailey Morgan'/"Bailey Hyde") goes undercover in a prison to expose first a drug ring and then a potential serial killer. The plot is sufficiently twisty-turny to keep reader/listener attention, the main character is intriguing, and the setting is unusual.
Unfortunately, the dialogue is somewhat klunky, and the "shocking revelations" are predictable.

Boldwood Books likewise generate a distinctly average listening product (splicing of re-recorded segments is occasionally imperfect, and volume modulation efforts sometimes result in whisper-quiet chapters followed by near-shout entries). Reader Genevieve Swallow is notably professional but delivers a few headshakingly cartoonish character voices.

Altogether, this 5.5/10-star offering isn't terrible.. but appropriately available as a 'Plus' selection. When Audible asks for a Credit, you'll be better off spending it elsewhere.

[Note: the lesbian romance plotline is realistic for a women's prison story.. but feels unnecessary and moderately contrived]
