Hope Rides Again
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]
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
[edit]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]
