Mystery on the Menu
| "Mystery on the Menu," a fund-raising luncheon at the Cerritos Library featured Bob and nine other authors speaking to a sold-out audience. This is an amazing facility that includes a genuine dinosaur skeleton towering over the children's section, an aquarium loaded with tropical fish, walls dotted with original works of art, dozens upon dozens of computers and, oh, yeah--books.
