A good read for the Alvirah & Willy fans out there. It was a bit short in length. However, it did tie up all the loose ends. This one book focused more on the bad guys and their actions rather than on Alvirah herself and how she came out her sleuthing. I enjoyed all the charachters except Opal. Yeah she was the victim, but for some reason I just didnt click with her. I found myself rooting for her demise. Not much holiday stuff to it, except for it centering around the Rockerfeller Christmas tree. Oh and the ex-wife (sorry wont give any spoilers) really should have been "killed" off.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the book. As I said it is a good read. This is my first time reviewing a book so I hope that you dont mind how I wrote it. Im a novice but I hope to catch on quickly. :)

Stephanie plum continues to envoke fits of laughter at the most inopportune time! Im on the train and all of a sudden I break thru the silence with a fit of laughter. She is funny! I find myself almost picturing a Sandra Bullock movie. I cannot wait for the day that they actually do come out with a movie! I love these books because I could relate to the charachters on some level with each of them. The charachters come across as loveable and funy and just basically your next door neighbors.

We should all be like Stephanie's grandmother! Carefree and doesnt care what people think about her. Im in love with Joe Morelli too and Bob the dog! And I thought about getting a hamster like Rex. And let's not talk about Ranger. He invokes fantasies in me....

Ok this is all for now. However before I go please do yourself a favor and either buy the book or RUN to your nearest library and read all the Stephanie Plum books. Then after reading them go buy them. You'll definitely want them for your collection. I know that I do. I have all the Plum books! Yay me! :)
