In 1973 Jane Tennison, aged 22, leaves the Metropolitan Police Training Academy to be placed on probationary exercise in Hackney, where criminality thrives. We witness her struggle to cope in a male-dominated, chauvinistic environment, learning fast to deal with shocking situations with no help or sympathy from her superiors. Then comes her involvement in her first murder case. No one witnessed the savage beating of a tragic young girl who, the postmortem reveals, was pregnant when she died.

It is late at night on a notorious council estate in east London. A van - garishly painted with a grinning clown's face on the side - is being driven erratically. When the police pull over the driver to question him, they discover, inside the van, the body of a young woman. A murder suspect . . . an arrest . . . a confession . . . A case done and dusted? But their suspect claims his victim is not his first, but his third.

Story
Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago – now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls identical - all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same - but the victim is a young student with the 'face of an angel'. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically.

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!

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.

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?

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?"

I have to disagree with the negative reviews...
I actually liked this 2nd book. The 1st book was great to lay out the characters and to show how Helen evolved. Yet, the second book, you could see Helen actually implementing the "new" version of herself throughout. She was strong and no one stood in her way. Her only soft side in this book was she actually had a boyfriend! Which, didn't really fit her new work personality 😉 But was nice to see for her. I believe that many of the negative reviews and feelings are coming from the last minute of the book. It ended extremely abruptly & not at all like any of us would want for the characters 😪 (Which could easily make another book- but right now-there isn't one) But, just because every book doesn't have a happy ending...doesn't mean that the book wasn't good!!

Blah.
The story was engaging, but empty. The characters revived in this book seemed hollow or just off. For example, Victor Braithwaite seemed an odd choice to bring back, but his "new" attributes seemed contradictory to those in the first book. The ending was horrible. The only thing good about this book was the narrator. She was incredible and I'd listen to her read most anything.

Clearly there was meant to be a third book and tv series for The Governor. It’s the only way to explain the abrupt ending.
