Hope never dies / Andrew Shaffer, 301 pgs.
Obama and Biden, best amateur detective team EVER. Ok, maybe they aren't the greatest detectives but so much chemistry! This tongue in cheek mystery series (it says book 1 so I'm hoping there will be another) is set in Delaware where an Amtrak conductor is killed on the track. Or was he already dead? Thus begins the mystery. A friend of Biden's, Joe thinks this smells fishy but he soon finds that his friend had money troubles, a very sick wife and maybe other secrets. Biden is still missing the White House and feels like Obama is having too much fun with celebrities. When these two team up again with unsuspecting Steve, a secret service agent on Obama's detail, they find themselves in plenty of interesting situations. The run-down motel where the victim lived is the site of an unlikely sleepover and an assault with a high heel. This book is so fun to read, you don't need to over analyse the plot. Just hop on the bandwagon and start lobbying for Biden to do an audio version.
