Breakfast at Timothy’s by Richard Tyler JordanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Book Info
Fresh-out-of-college aspiring novelist Timothy Trousdale can hardly believe his good luck when he lands a job in New York City as a live-in assistant to his all-time favorite showbiz diva, Mercedes Ford. He’s seen all her movies. Spent oodles on tickets to her Broadway shows. And now, he gets to live and work in her swanky Tribeca penthouse. Surely, he’ll be leading the glamorous life rubbing elbows with A-Listers, who may even be able to help him fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a famous writer. But rats …
after just a few days on the job, Mercedes’ odious manager, Jared Evans, is found dead. Murdered, actually. And Timothy is a suspect!
Timothy had better find the real killer, and fast; otherwise, it’s bye-bye to ever seeing his name on the New York Times Bestsellers List and hello to a stretch of 25-to-life in the slammer. And that great guy he’s just started dating? Who’d ever want to get involved with someone whose address is The New York Penitentiary for Blood-thirsty Killers and Maniacs for crying out loud? Desperate to keep his life from completely shattering into a gazillion shards, Timothy sets out to worm the truth from an oddball cast of characters—including a sourpuss housekeeper, a vindictive former employee, a wacko Brit with delusions of grandeur, and even Mercedes’ unfaithful toy boy husband. Each of them may hold the keys to unlocking the mystery. Timothy is caught in a seemingly inescapable trap and must fight to save himself—and his favorite movie star, too.
💭Our Thoughts
Poor Timothy. That man tried so hard.
His inner musings and slightly sarcastic sense of humor just made him that much more endearing
He thought he had found his golden ticket in life. Turns out it was 10-carat fool-plated, and he was the fool.
This was strangely addicting, despite how long it took to get to the good stuff.
I wanted:
To know if Timothy would still be standing in the end (if there was a road bump somehow he found it)
What was in the folders? (I would have opened them the first day lol)
Who Fabiola really was?
The story and the characters were a blast.
Again, my reason for just liking and not loving it was the abundance of details that at times bogged the story down.
The characters made this story like
Timothy with a heart of gold
The housekeeper/space holder Fabiola was a snarky ball of fun
Jared the self-proclaimed man of importance who was nothing but hot air
Mr. Slater the adoring younger husband (or not)
Mercedes, the living angel amongst mere mortals
And so many more, like Max
Everyone has an agenda
Well except Jared - he had an agenda
Can Timothy prove that his agenda was not murder?
