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

 Not my favorite January 7, 2009
I have read all the Plum books and this one wasn't my favorite. I don't understand the Diesel character. I think Stephanie has enough confusion with Ranger and Morelli. Kind of dumb..
A disppointing read January 3, 2009
My review of this book is brief. . . terminally cute. I expect more from Evanovich. It's too bad she couldn't think of a way to get Deisel into Stephanies life that didn't involve the supernatural.
 Horrible. December 27, 2008
I was extremely disappointed by this book. The story line was shallow, and it was just a poorly written book compared to all of the other books in the Stephanie Plum series.
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.
