More About This Book

Overview

Together at last! From America’s favorite #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a very special edition containing not one, but three Between-the-Numbers books: Visions of Sugar Plums, Plum Lovin’ and Plum Lucky

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.

Meet the Author

Janet Evanovich
Janet Evanovich

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.

Biography

When plucky Stephanie Plum lost her job as a lingerie buyer, she had little other choice than to take a position working for her cousin Vinnie's bail-bonds office where she'd spend her days and nights hunting down fugitives, solving mysteries, and falling ass-backwards into adventure. Come to think of it, Ms. Plum has more than a little in common with her creator Janet Evanovich.

Much like the panty-pushing Plum, Evanovich once made her trade in erotica as a romance novelist for the trashy Bantam series "Loveswept." Tiring of the genre and finding herself increasingly fixated on crime, mystery, and the kind of adventures she came to love through comic books like Uncle Scrooge, she decided to ditch steamy stories in favor of off-the-wall humor and feats of daring. As Evanovich said on her website, "after twelve romance novels I ran out of sexual positions and decided to move into the mystery genre."

The resulting Stephanie Plum Mysteries reflect Evanovich's love for comics, toys, shoe-shopping, Cheez Doodles, and beer. Evanovich also created a memorable character that shares many of the author's distinctive traits, such as her self-effacing, dirty-minded wit. The Plum Mysteries, while often rambling and thin on plot, are never anything less than entertaining, hilarious, and refreshing in every way.

Stephanie Plum made her debut in 1994's One For the Money, in which she tracked down Joe Morelli, an ex-cop and murder suspect who'd also been guilty of taking Stephanie's virginity when she was 18. The novel's sly mix of sexiness and childlike playfulness made for a sort of young adult novel for adults.

Since then, the red-hot bounty hunter and a crew of misfits that includes retired hooker Lula, aging bail-jumper Eddie Decooch, and Plum's own hipster granny have romped their way "through the numbers," establishing Evanovich as one of the best and most inventive writers of "Strong Woman" mysteries and guaranteeing her a place on the New York Times bestseller list.

In 2004, Evanovich introduced a smart, savvy new series featuring Alexander "Barney" Barnaby, a sexy Baltimore car mechanic, NASCAR nut, and amateur sleuth with her own posse of delightful eccentrics. She's not Plum, but she's definitely a peach. Hey, what else would you expect from a Janet Evanovich heroine?

Good To Know

Evanovich's motorcycle-riding daughter Alex has created an online comic about her hamster called "Batster," which her mother proudly displays on her web site. With episodes like "Batster vs. Beerzilla," it's clear that wackiness runs in the Evanovich genes.

If you think the Stephanie Plum novels are zany, wait till you hear about what Evanovich was writing before she started getting published. As she explains on her web site, "The first story [I ever wrote] was about the pornographic adventures of a fairy who lived in a second rate fairy forest in Pennsylvania."

    Too short and a bit dull

    I bought this book because I have read all the Stephanie Plum numbered series Janet Evanovich wrote, and I just love them. My only complaint is that the stories are very short; i can read one in just a few hours. I was excited when I discovered she wrote more Stephanie Plum novels, so I had to buy them. I expected three novels to read, but once I opened the book, I noticed the words on the pages were very big and spaced out. Uh oh, I thought. Then there is some new hot guy Stephanie ends up liking. Ugh! The Joe and Ranger drama is enough, now they are throwing in another guy. I could live without the Diesel character who got on my nerves, since after reading these three stories I am still not sure what he is. Plus Stephanie lets him push her around; even lets him sleep in her bed. I would rather have Joe and Ranger in the storeline. Scrap the Diesel character and put more words on each page to read in each book and I would have been alot happier. I am still a Stephanie Plum fan but not so much of the Between the Plums stories.

    Between the Lines is Between the Plum Series and Evanovich's Other Books

    I very much enjoy reading Evanovich's Plum Series, but really wish she came out with them more often, rather than having the "other" books in between. Her humor and development of the characters has made them actual friends. Because she remains true to her characters, I look forward to each and every one of them and how they react to the situations.

    Fun!

    As always, a fun read from Ms Evanovich. These are short stories and read like a sitcom. A little different from the rest of the series with the addition of some "fantasy" characters, but definitely fun reads and I would reccommend them to all fans of the Plum series.

    Great reading but not Evanovich's best

    I love the Stephanie Plum series. I love Janet Evanovich. This book seems to be the early times in trying ot develop her characters. She doesn't quite have the cohesive structure in her later books, but this is still funny.

    Read the book & keep buying Evanovich!

    Great to have all three in one book. Love the Plum series.

    This is not a review, but a suggestion... Start with the first Plum, One for the Money. If you like it, you'll do as I did and read them all.
