It wasn't as involved and fulfilling as the number books are but it was a refreshing quick read with a little holiday magic mixed in.Agent Plum is down to the wire and has not bought any gifts yet for Christmas, has a strange man, Diesal, literally popping in and out of her life and apartment, and on top of all that has to arrest Sandy Claws.As is anything with Stephanie in it, Visions of Sugar Plums is a hilarious light hearted holiday read with lots of holiday catastrophe's. I loved this between the numbers story.
They seem to be an afterthought. I really do not life the in-between novels.
The story line is weak as well as the plot that is expected with Evanovich's books. They develop a friendship, Stephanie curious about him as the book goes on. It's a simple quick read - less than two hours to finish the books but it makes you look for more of the books that Diesel are in. I find the between the numbers, Stephanie Plum series much more interesting and amusing than the numbered books. Diesel is a refreshing character - one Stephanie hasn't slept with, but shares a bed with.
The book was in great condition and was delivered quickly as promised. This author never fails to brighten my day.
The new character introduced is a nice addition to the Stephanie, Ranger, Morelli triangle. It's light, funny, and a bit mystical/magical. There's less danger and darkness involved for Stephanie and more whimsy and comedy. I read this in June but would have been even more fun in December. It doesn't have as much meat as the Stephanie Plum numbered novels but is totally worth your time.
