Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer

Book Review: Hope Never Dies Andrew Shaffer
Genre:
Publisher:
Published: 7/10/2018
It's been several months since the 2016 presidential election, and "Uncle Joe" Biden is puttering around his house, grouting the tile in his master bathroom, feeling lost and adrift in an America that doesn't make sense anymore. But when his favorite Amtrak conductor dies in a suspicious accident, Joe feels a familiar desire to serve - and he leap into the role of amateur sleuth, with a little help from his old friend President Barack…

Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hilarious & wonderful Murder She Wrote style mystery featuring the dynamic duo of Obama & Biden.

This is a cozy mystery style narrative mixed with humor. Joe riding Amtrak in his aviators & yearning for a good vanilla cone. Barack chilling in the shadows (effortlessly debonair) sneaking a cigarette & helping guide the investigation.

Basically, Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hell of a lot of fun. I burned through it & honestly, I will read it again. While the story is technically a murder mystery, it’s light-hearted, clever & memorable. There are so many parts I catch myself laughing out loud & smiling. Shaffer really taps into the lovable aspects of both Obama & Biden. Truly, they seem to be a heightened version of the politicians we know so well. I just love it.

THE VERDICT

I am Really Into This book! Shaffer brings the laughs & what lingers after this story is hope. We can all use more of that! This book has me so pumped for America, I want to make that Captain America pavlova again.
