Visions of Sugar Plums

It’s five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for 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 of light anywhere to be seen in her apartment—and there’s a strange man in her kitchen.

Plum Lovin’

Mysterious men have a way of showing up in Stephanie Plum’s apartment. When the shadowy Diesel appears, he has a task for Stephanie—and he’s not taking no for an answer.

Plum Lucky

Stephanie Plum is looking to get lucky...In an Atlantic City hotel room…In a Winnebago…And with a brown-eyed stud who has stolen her heart.

About the Author

Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including One for the Money and Sizzling Sixteen, and the Diesel & Tucker series, including Wicked Appetite. Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn’t have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, “When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency.” But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet’s favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. She and her husband live in New Hampshire, in house with a view of the Connecticut River Valley.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't understand Why, May 17, 2010

everyone is so disappointed and upset calling this book a scam, expecially fans of this series. If you are really a fan of this series and were eagerly waiting the next book you would know this was not a new release in the series, but a compilation of previously released titles.

You can tell just by looking at the cover this is not a new release but a compilation of her first "in between" novels. It had the names of the first 3 "in between" novels in very large print on the cover. And the title the the book is called "Between the Plums." And it clearly states on the books Amazon page that this is a very special edition containing not one, but three Between-the-Numbers books. I don't know how much clearer they can be.

By now fans of her series should know all her regular titles have the book number in the title and the "in between" novels have "Plum" in the title and they state they are an "in Between Novel". I agree with "Rob H" if you just took the time to read the descriptions you wouldn't be disappointed.

I never write reviews but I was very upset when I read all the reviews stating that the publisher was just trying to cheat people when the description of the book and what it contained were very clearly written. I also got very upset when I read a few reviews state that these were just old books with new characters written in to make a new book, when clearly this wasn't so either. Which makes it so sad that this book has such a low rating just because no one took the 10 seconds it would have taken to read the books description.

This "new" book is just 3 older books put into one "new" book. Why would you name a book something new when it's not NEW?!?!
I was really hoping to get a "new" Stephanie Plum book. =(
guess I have to wait longer.

It's so great to see Janet's books come out with multiple books in one! This is her MO - she combines several of her older books in a single book for those who are just now reading the series and can save on costs. It's very clear when reading the book description that the book contains previous releases, not new books. I HIGHLY recommend this book if you haven't already started reading the "Between the Plums" books in the series. For news on when new books are being released, you can visit her website [...]. Her next new book is due out Summer 2010. Can't wait!
