Publisher's summary

Under pressure.

Under threat.

Undercover.

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

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

When her best friend Alice is murdered while working undercover in a women’s prison, Bailey steps up to replace her.

Working alone, Bailey embarks on a dangerous quest through the murky underbelly of the prison, where she soon discovers that Alice’s death was part of a spate of brutal murders. Surrounded on all sides by criminals and lowlifes, God help her if any of them find out she’s a copper....

Illicit drug trafficking, prison gangs and corruption are just some of the things she’s up against...and behind it all lurks a sinister and terrifying secret that will truly test her abilities to survive.

Exciting and thrilling read!

I had to give this one the highest rating. I don’t why it’s only rated 4 stars! It was thrilling twist and turns and you will not guess the ending! I’m not giving any clues as it will spoil the reader so if you are intrigued read it for yourself!

I hated this book!

It’s been a long time since a book has frustrated me so much! Apart from the idea of a failed undercover agent getting put into a situation where her predecessor was killed, all the incidents just seemed impossible. Along with an unbelievable plot, the narrators ‘over-acting’ almost had me quitting every time the handler (can’t remember his name, that’s how much this book impressed me) spoke. What’s with the aggressive tone? And let’s not get into the inmates tones. Aghhh, this has to be the most frustrating read of the year if not more.
Avoid!!!

Glad I finally chose this exciting British thriller!

What took me so long to grab this gem in the Audible Plus catalogue? Detective Constable Bailey Morgan goes undercover in a women’s prison and investigates drug dealing and brutal murders. Author Caro Savage’s well-paced and intricate talents make this a captivating tale. Add narrator Genevieve Swallow with her pitch-perfect vocals and we have a compelling listen. Filled with suspenseful subplots and surprises, “Jailbird” is highly recommended. I look forward to more by these two perfectly matched women. An awesome nod to Audible for offering it at no cost.

Gripping but overly wordy

This was a great story about a policewoman (Bailey) going undercover in a prison which is run by a gang of violent inmates and corrupt staff. It's very well written and gripped me from the start. My only complaint is that the author could have lost about a 1/5th of the book due to being over descriptive and repetitive - I'm surprised this wasn't picked up by her editor or maybe she had a minimum number of words to hit!! Overall though this was a great read and I will definitely look out for more books by Caro Savage.

Oh My Goodness

A.H

First of all, when I read, the hours of listening, for this Book, I hoped it was going to be a worthwhile Story.

Since I have over 300 Books on my list, a lot of them finished, I wondered which one was going to be next.

I suffer from Insomnia, often using a Book to help me get a few hours sleep.

It’s currently 02.43hrs, I began listening at 0.1.30hrs the night before this, no sleep as I just couldn’t put this Book away !

What an introduction to an Author I had not read before !!

Gripping Tale on the off.
Loved the Story line and it’s Heroine.
Twists and Turns around every corner, and plenty of Suspects.

Kudos for choosing a marvellous Narrator.
Easy to listen to, can make or break the enjoyment.

I loved the Book and am happy, recommending ‘Jailbird’.

My Thanks to the Author, Narrator and Audible 🙏🦋

Bleak

This was a captivating but gut wrenching story. I can’t see any other reviews where the content was mentioned but much of it was harrowing and hard for me to listen to. Such a sad and bleak story line but I guess that doesn’t make it a bad book.

Bit slow in the middle but kept going as I wanted to know the end :(

Good story, not so good narration

This was a good story ( although a little long winded at times) but I thought it was spoilt by the narrator. Most of her female characters sounded like cockney 12 year old girls and the men like 9 year old angry boys ( particularly her boss Frank ). I love stories set in a prison but the characters were mostly unbelievable and predictable. The only voice she did well was 'crazy' Mel.
Glad I didn't pay for this one.
