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. Visions of Sugar Plums-the world of Plum has never been merrier!

Wacky romp

Visions of Sugar Plums will stretch your imagination to its limits. Evanovich's characters are always a joy, but this is a bit outside even her usual freaky creations. The addition of a supernatural element will surprise even the biggest Stephanie Plum fan, but in her world, why not? Considering everything else this beloved character has experienced, it's almost believable. Hurry for Evanovich!!!!!

Love Stephanie Plum. . . but did NOT like this book

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
