Hope Never Dies by Andrew ShafferMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer as a gift from a friend a few years ago. It is the first book in the Obama Biden Mystery series. It has taken me a while to get around to reading it because I thought it might be hokey. It was humorous but not really hokey. There's a little bit of mystery and some good action.
While it is billed as Obama Biden, it really is more about Joe Biden than Barack Obama. This is 2018. What is former Vice President Biden up to? Maybe looking for a little adventure to spice things up? Experiencing some FOMO as he scrolls through Obama's social media? This book posits one option. I give Andrew Shaffer a lot of credit. I felt like I was reading something Joe Biden might have written.
I expect that a person's politics will probably influence whether they pick this book up at all. It really shouldn't because it is a fun book no matter who you vote for. But I imagine some people would have fits reading about Joe Biden as a sympathetic character and doing good *gasp* with his old buddy, Barack Obama. If you are not one of those people, you just might enjoy this book.
