Trixie and her friends get to spend Christmas in Arizona and Di's uncle's dude ranch. Well, maybe. When they arrive, they learn that most of the staff has left. Can Trixie figure out why? And what is bothering three of the guests? This isn't a typical mystery, but I still like it anyway. The characters are strong and there are mysterious things going on. The only flaw in my mind is the travelogue chapter that lectures us on Arizona.

The struggle for Centauri Prime begins as Emperor Londo accepts his fate. Or does he? And how much can he do against his new masters when they know every thought he thinks? The characters are strong and just like their TV personas. And since this is one chapter I wish we'd gotten more of from the final season, I loved it. It does change a little of the timeline from that final season, but it is a minor issue.

I really enjoyed the story and characters a lot. One thing that bothered me though was every chapter has at least 2-3 lists and after I noticed the pattern it started to annoy me. He'd have this long list of something, for example a list of sounds but it ends up being like a page long, then it leads into another list of what the sounds actually are. I'm probably not explaining myself right and might put an example in later. But the book would probably be half the length without all these lists and embedded sentences.
