Review: Hope Rides Again

Hope Rides Again by Andrew Shaffer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask, I'll tell you to read it

This was a fun way to escape the world for a little bit. This book takes place before Joe Biden has decided to run for President in 2020. He visits Barack Obama in Chicago on his way home from a book signing tour. While stopping by a conference on economics, Joe meets a young man who is helping out. He also learns that Obama has misplaced his beloved Blackberry.

When searching for the Blackberry, Biden comes across a shooting scene where the young man has been shot. Biden decides this is a mystery he must solve, to follow through on something he'd told the young man (that if he were his father, he'd always be there for him).

As Obama and Biden romp around Chicago, we're introduced to brothels, speakeasies, the mob, gangs, and churches... A variety of characters and a variety of wrong turns later, they solve the mystery of where the Blackberry went AND who shot the young man.
