"Chiseled out of the Texas landscape, politics, and Virginia Rodriguez's sometimes bitchy, but mostly likable, character" - Midwest Book Review

Mystery novel by author LB Cobb -- Splendor Bay"Splendor Bay lands ex-attorney Bill Glasscock in... a whirlwind search for the women in his life, a murderer, and proof of his own innocence" -- Publishers Weekly

"The commonplace becomes extraordinary due to the identities and emotional intensity of the characters" - Midwest Book Review

In Cobb's debut mystery novel, SPLENDOR BAY, attorney Bill Glasscock finds himself in a West Coast beach town searching for the murderer of his almost ex-wife's lover while dodging cops who think he's the killer. As Bill tries to unravel both the murder mystery and his complicated romantic entanglements, his dry wit will keep you laughing while his "thinking man" approach to the catastrophe in his marriage and career will grab your heart. If you like mysteries with full-blooded characters, noir-paced action, crisp dialogue,  laugh-out-loud humor, and a touch of heart-warming romance, you'll love Splendor Bay.

Mystery by author LB Cobb -- Promises Town"A wonderful mix of characters highlights this memorable mystery" - Mystery Scene Magazine

"Promises Town had me hooked on the first page and I was sad to reach the last page" -- Murder Express

PROMISES TOWN, introduces smart and sassy Assistant District Attorney Virginia Rodriguez and cagey high-profile defense attorney Leo Zachmann who go point-counterpoint in a legal thriller that offers a fascinating view of the two-sided search for truth in criminal case. A federal prosecutor, the nemesis of Washington elite, is murdered in a posh Bayou City Texas hotel room. His wife is found with the gun at the scene and is arrested quickly. Perhaps too quickly, Virginia Rodriguez soon realizes. Powerful people want a conviction and more than Virginia's career is on the line -- calculating killers have added her name to their list. Promises Town delivers a rich blend of memorable characters, an intriguing mystery, wry humor, and Virginia Rodriguez, a woman who has it all -- a killer of a job, a child and a dog to feed, a house to keep, promises to remember, and no Prince Charming in view.
