Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!
Christmas is a season of joy and miracles. And if there ever was a woman that needed a miracle, it is Stephanie Plum. And she is about to meet hers. Enter Diesel from the Lizzie and Diesel series. He has arrived to make sure Stephanie has a Merry Holiday. But unless she can catch a fugitive toy maker, she may be singing the holiday blues.
Visions of Sugar Plums is Janet Evanovich's Christmas novel featuring Stephanie Plum. The hardcover edition that I read was published by St. Martin's Press, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers. In this little bundle of joy readers were introduced to Lizzie Tucker's better half, Diesel. A magical individual known as an Unmentionable, Diesel can get into any locked place and appear without warning. And he has the uncanny ability to force his wicked charms onto people. With four days to Christmas Stephanie is looking for a fugitive skip who may or may not be Santa Claus. Diesel is on the scene to help Stephanie, whether she likes it or not.
This short novel lasted under two hundred pages and was a lot of fun. Fan favorite Randy Briggs also returns, as does Stephanie's zany family. Unexpected pregnancies. Lost false teeth. Attack elves. And a whole lot of Christmas magic usher in Christmas in Trenton for the Plums. Even though it did start out a bit slow, it picked up quickly making me feel closer to the season. There were a couple of reveals that moved the book along to a an ending that was filled with Christmas cheer.
Lorelei King returned to read the audio book with a little extra charm and twinkle that lit up the book like a Christmas Tree. Her voice work was often laugh out loud funny. Any book read by her is always a good time. When it comes to narration Lorelei King is Queen.
In the end Visions of Sugar Plums was a rousing three star read that was Christmas fun. I love this series. It always makes me smile. This is a great book for those who want to read a holiday tale, but do not want a long book. Enjoy.
