Stephanie Plum's in for a Christmas full of sparks with "Visions
of Sugar Plums." When Diesel pops into her kitchen looking for "Sandy
Claws" an FTA given to Stephanie to find, Christmas becomes ultra chaotic.
Can Stephanie find time to shop and bring Sandy Claws in?
Christmas is crazy for Stephanie's family and Stephanie is
behind the power curve. She has no money for a tree, gifts, or decorations.
Cousin Vinny gives her a job to bring in Sandy Claws, a retired toy maker, but
Sandy is proving more trouble than he's worth, especially when the electricity
all over town starts acting hinky. Diesel, is a supernatural being who is
tracking down Ring, a person going after Sandy Claws. Will Diesel get his man
and will Stephanie get a tree for Christmas?
Evanovich's story is easy to read, whimsical, and endearing.
It captures the essence of the season including in-your-face commercialism to
heartwarming sentiments. Evanovich's characters continue to entertain. The Plum
household is just as wild as a zoo. Mary Alice still thinks she's a horse.
Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin but it's Valerie who gets the biggest gift
of all.
Visions of Sugar Plums is a light, fun, engaging read. The
story is a cozy mystery with a splash of comedy that will have the reader
laughing as they turn the page.
