Publisher Description

It's five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn't got a tree. She hasn't bought any presents. The malls are jam-packed with staggering shoppers. There's not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment. And there's a strange man in her kitchen. Sure, this has happened to Stephanie Plum before. Strangers, weirdos, felons, creeps, and lunatics are always finding their way to her front door. But this guy is different. This guy is mysterious, sexy-and he has his own agenda. His name is Diesel and he is a man on a mission. And Diesel is unlike anyone Stephanie has ever met before in her life. The question is, what does he want with her? Can he help her find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before Christmas? Can he survive the Plum family holiday dinner? Can he get Stephanie a tree that doesn't look like it was grown next to a nuclear power plant? These questions and more are keeping Stephanie awake at night. Not to mention the fact that she needs to find a bunch of nasty elves, her sister Valerie has a Christmas "surprise" for the Plums, her niece Mary Alice doesn't believe in Santa anymore, and Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style. In Janet Evanovich's Visions of Sugar Plums, the world of Plum has never been merrier!

"So I almost started #9 and knew something was off when I read Valerie was pregnant. Well stop, and go back to read this one first. Although it probably isn't crucial to 9, a true plumfan isn't about to let a book go by unread. The one doesn't leave you dissapointed either. Although Evanovich leaves Ranger out of this one, she brings back little person, Randy Briggs and introduces us to Diesel, a worthy new character. I enjoyed is short read and am ready to jump into 9!"

    " didn't like this at all. Very "hokey". I'm assuming that she wrote this prior to the Stephanie Plum series. Not recommended, and yes she continued to write "Diesel" stories. I'm not rushing to them especially after reading this first one. "

    " Terrible. I love this series but this book seemed to be written by an entirely different author. It was weird and boring. Certain characters were clearly left out on purpose and no real explanation for new ones. "

    " This was not my favorite of the books, it was way too short and it didn't have the humor that the books normally have. I read it out of order because I didn't know where it fit, but found out after I read to the nines and there was a development I was not aware of. "

    " It gets two stars (rather than one) only because it carried on the normal storyline enough for me to see when Steph's sister found out she was preganant & the initial reaction of those around her. Beyond that, pretty terrible. I love the rest of the series, but this one is bad. "
