About this listen

 Dan, an Irishman who's ended up in New Jersey, finds himself embroiled in a world of murder, kidnapping and corrupt cops.

Dan works as a bouncer in a seedy club, half in love with hostess Connie. When Connie is murdered on the premises, a vengeful Dan finds himself embroiled in an increasingly deadly sequence of events in which his doctor friend Zeb goes mysteriously missing, a cop-killing female cop becomes his only ally, and he makes an enemy of ruthless drug-dealer Mike Madden. Written with the warmth and wit that make the Artemis Fowl novels so irresistible, though with additional torture and violence, PLUGGED is a brilliant crime debut from a naturally gifted writer with a huge fanbase.©2011 Eoin Colfer Crime Thrillers International Mystery & Crime Mystery Thriller & Suspense Crime Fiction Comedy Suspense

Critic reviews

'I loved the voice. I loved the dark streets. I love the story'
'Artemis Fowl creator Eoin Colfer heads off into zanily comic adult noir territory with Plugged . . . McEvoy finds himself sucked into a maelstrom of outlandish criminal shenanigans, a knockabout farce with Elmore Leonard-style wisecracking at every turn'
'Violent, surreal and eccentric, this offering couldn't be further from his Artemis Fowl series'
'Eoin Colfer . . . is hugely inventive and intelligent and an instinctive storyteller, who happens to write beautifully and elegantly as well'
'Colfer is an engaging and inventive writer with a strong sense of the rhythm of a story . . . always entertaining page by page'
'A non-stop, fever-pitched crime thriller . . . Genius at work'
'DON'T PICK UP THIS BOOK if you want to get anything else done for the next day or two. It's too sharp, too funny, and it won't let you go'
'This is Sopranos territory - where terrible deeds are mixed with the painful banalities of life in a way that brings laughter among the tears and gnaws at your heart. It's a fine debut'
'Colfer . . . has transplanted his style seamlessly into the adult genre'
'A laugh-out-loud adventure that is as close as the genre gets to a hug'
'Scabrously funny, furiously paced and distinctively idiosyncratic, PLUGGED . . . suggests Colfer's first adult crime novel will not be his last'
'His rapid-fire surreal wit is packed with off kilter ideas . . . it's a highly entertaining ride'

I think my headline just about covers it all. The story is great, the characters are fascinating and the narrator is very good. I'll definitely be listening to the follow up novel 'Screwed'.

Enjoyable Pulpy Crime Novel

Normally, I get an audio book each month and listen to it over the month while travelling for work. This did not happen for this book. I started listening to it, on the second day when I got back from work I continued listening to it in the house, until I had heard it all.



Great book, well read. Loved it!

Couldn't stop listening.
