Plugged

About This Audiobook

Eoin Colfer’s "Plugged" thrusts a hard‑hearted Irish bouncer into the neon‑slick underbelly of a New Jersey club, where every drink poured could be a death sentence. The narrative is a lean, pulse‑pounding thriller that never pretends to be anything other than a gritty, street‑level crime saga. Colfer balances visceral brawls with razor‑sharp dialogue, and the plot spirals from a single murder into a web of kidnapping, crooked officers, and a desperate quest for vengeance. It’s the kind of story that rewards listeners who love a protagonist with a moral code as battered as his bar‑room fists. Patrick Moy’s narration brings Dan to life with a gravelly, authentically Irish timbre that feels like a live performance from a dimly lit backroom. Moy modulates his voice to capture the club’s chaotic ambience, the quiet dread of a late‑night alley, and the fleeting tenderness of Dan’s half‑hearted romance with Connie. The production is clean, with subtle sound design that underscores the tension without overwhelming the storytelling. If you crave a fast‑moving, character‑driven mystery that feels both local and universal, "Plugged" is a compelling listen.
