Why? Episode 72- The Obama-Biden Mysteries with Andrew Shaffer Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

When you think of the perfect detective pair, maybe you think Crockett and Tubbs. Or Holmes and Watson. But you likely don't think of the 44th President and his Vice President.
Andrew Shaffer is here to change all that. He's the author of the Obama-Biden mysteries books that, while are a lot of fun for the politically informed, they're also actually really good mysteries.
We talked with Andrew about how he crafts his mysteries, why he settled on Biden and why the former Vice President is the perfect detective noir voice.
