Synopsis

The second crime novel by internationally bestselling writer Eoin Colfer is a gritty and utterly compelling follow-up to the critically acclaimed Plugged.In Screwed, Colfer adds an entirely new chapter to the adventures and misadventures of Daniel McEvoy, the down-on-his-luck Irish bouncer at a seedy New Jersey bar who, with the help of a motley crew of unlikely characters, solved a bizarre string of murders—including the one of the girl he loved. But people around him continue to die mysteriously, and Daniel is called into action once again. Colfer, beloved by millions for his Artemis Fowl series, has written a riveting and relentlessly paced sequel that is sure to garner international praise. With wildly inventive imagination and head-spinning plot twists, Screwed is a tour-de-force that rivals Carl Hiaasen at his very best. Ridley Pearson called Plugged "a brilliant, madcap mystery"and "genius at work." With Screwed, Colfer delivers that signature brilliance once again.

Goodreads review by J.J.

Another tour de force by a master writer. "Screwed" is the sequel to "Plugged" and it's every bit as good. In fact the plot is stronger, and, believe it or not, there are way more wisecracks/witticisms to the inch. The narrative voice is really strong and I love the way the narrator does rolling sel......more

This story is very witty and entertaining. I am going to include a strong warning. ⚠️ Do Not Listen to the audio version unless you are at home and alone. ⚠️ I listened with Bluetooth earbuds which hide that I am wearing them under hair over my ear. There were a few times I had to fight the urge to......more
