Breakfast at Timothy's

Landing your dream job is great-until your boss's manager turns up dead.

Fresh-out-of-college aspiring novelist Timothy Trousdale can't believe his luck when he lands a live-in assistant job with his idol, legendary showbiz diva Mercedes Ford. He's watched every movie, paid a fortune for Broadway tickets, and now he's living in her swanky Tribeca penthouse-rubbing elbows with A-listers and dreaming of literary fame.

That dream shatters when Mercedes's universally loathed manager, Jared Evans, is found murdered. Even worse, Timothy quickly becomes a suspect.

If he doesn't uncover the real killer, Timothy can kiss his writing career goodbye-and say hello to a prison sentence that would destroy his future and his budding romantic relationship. Desperate to clear his name, Timothy plunges into a world of sharp egos, backstage rivalries, and glittering deception, questioning a sourpuss housekeeper, a vindictive former employee, a delusional Brit, and Mercedes's unfaithful toy-boy husband.

Caught in a glamorous trap where fame hides deadly ambition, Timothy must expose the truth before his life-and his favorite movie star's-are ruined forever.

With sharp wit, a glamorous New York setting, and a hero readers can instantly root for, Breakfast at Timothy's blends classic cozy mystery charm with modern sensibilities. Richard Tyler Jordan delivers a warm, funny, and fast-paced series opener where ambition, romance, and murder collide-and where solving the crime is just the beginning.
