Christmas in bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's world isn't quite like Christmas in Whoville. With only four days to go before December 25, she doesn't have a decorated tree in her apartment or any presents bought. Plus she's chasing an elusive bail-jumper named Sandy Claws; a hunky guy named Diesel is literally popping in and out of her apartment; and a mob of manic elves is threatening to assault her with cookies. The end result is that Stephanie is feeling a tad stressed over the holiday season. Life isn't any calmer over at her parents' home in the Burg, where Grandma Mazur is dating a new octogenarian stud muffin; sister Valerie is wailing over some unwelcome news; and Stephanie's mother is coping by belting back tumblers of Red Roses in the kitchen. Just where is the elusive Mr. Claws hiding, and why? What's causing the power blackouts all over Trenton? And what about the mysterious villain, Mr. Ring? Is all of this real, or is Stephanie just having a very bad dream? Janet Evanovich's mysteries are eagerly awaited by fans everywhere and this holiday installment won't disappoint. With a returning cast of entertaining, quirky characters and a rock-solid setting in New Jersey wrapped around an intriguing mystery, Evanovich delivers yet another hilarious adventure featuring irrepressible bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. --Lois Faye Dyer

 Funny Book ,But Don't Buy IT, Borrow It November 27, 2008
Visions of Sugar Plums takes place a few days before Christmas. Stephie Plum hasn't bought presents, sent Christmas cards or put up a tree. She's determine to find Sandy Claws , who skipped a court appearnace.
Someone could still enjoy the story even if they hadn't read the other novels.Stephanie's family play a major role in the story and Joe Morrelli , Stephanie's boyfriend makes brief appearnces.
It is a fun story to read before Christmas and it is short. Some funny scences include Stephanie being attacked by elves , Grandma Mazur's missing fake teeth, etc. There is a supernatural element to the story which is never completly explained , but it doesn't matter. Everthing comes together at the end. I meant to give it 3 stars not two.
 stephanie plum series October 22, 2008
I love reading the stephanie plum series by Janet Evanovich. This was a very good and funny book
Love Stephanie Plum. . . but did NOT like this book September 10, 2008
I love the Stephanie Plum series and I'm feel very disloyal to give this book only 2 stars but it really sucked!!!! I have read the numbered books 1-8 before getting to this one. I love the numbered books but not this one. I feel like it's a necessary evil. The storyline is B-A-D but some big things happen in Stephanie's family that you need to know before you get to #9. There is no Ranger, Connie or Vinnie. They are all mentioned but not interacting with Stephanie. Connie is alluded to but there is no dialogue. For those who love Stephanie and Lula team. . .they only interact for one afternoon and most of it is shopping. There is introduction of a new character (Diesel) who pops in and out of rooms and unlocks doors and apparently is somewhat magical. CHEESY!!! This reminds me of those cheesy Christmas specials. . .but I read this book in September
 Picking the petals from Plum August 4, 2008
Visions Of Sugar Plums was a disappointment. With all the supernatural and comic book characters now appearing in books and movies Evanovich tried to join in with her characteristic protagonist, Stephanie Plum. The usual plot lines of an FTA, the ruined car, and Plum herself with her disorganization meets a new man with abnormal abilities. Plum runs through her erotic arousal theme, her boy friend appears briefly, locks click, lightning flares, family meals occur and everything works out at the meal, there is little suspense.
Not worth it July 31, 2008
I love the numbered Stephanie Plum books and was eager to read this one (like many others out there). What a huge disappointment! I started to read this book and simply gave up after a couple chapters, which is something I rarely do. It's very boring and the plot is simply terrible. I highly recommend the number series and would caution you against this fiasco. I simply couldn't believe it was by the same author.
