Last updated

Hope Rides Again: An Obama Biden Mystery is a 2019 book by Andrew Shaffer, published by Quirk Books. It is a sequel to Hope Never Dies , and is part of a series of books in which Joe Biden and Barack Obama are detectives solving crimes. Shaffer stated that the series is "escapist". [1]

Contents

The content is told in the first person perspective by Biden. He and Obama look for a person who took Obama's mobile device. According to Dean Poling of the Valdosta Daily Times , Obama is the equivalent of Sherlock Holmes and Biden is the equivalent of Dr. Watson. [2]

Reception

Kirkus Reviews wrote that the concept is "silly", and that the Biden character is "moralizing and generalizing" and not as "humorous" compared to that of the first novel. [3]

Publishers Weekly described the work as "humorous" and stated that the book's positioning of Obama and Biden as protagonists in an action-oriented story was "convincing". [4]

Poling compared the work to works by Kinky Friedman. [2]
