The New York Times Best Seller "[Hope Never Dies is] an escapist fantasy that will likely appeal to liberals pining for the previous administration, longing for the Obama-Biden team to emerge from political retirement as action heroes."—Alexandra Alter, New York Times Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama team up in this high-stakes thriller that combines a mystery worthy of Watson and Holmes with the laugh-out-loud bromantic chemistry of Lethal Weapon’s Murtaugh and Riggs. Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, “Amtrak Joe” re-teams with the only man he’s ever fully trusted: the 44th president of the United States. Together they’ll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America’s opioid epidemic. Part noir thriller and part bromance, Hope Never Dies is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fiction—and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs.

So silly, but so much fun. 4 stars for being better than I expected. :-)
The premise is funny, the story kind of slogs along, but the finale saved it from getting a lower rating.
I JUST WANTED THIS TO BE A FUN, DUMB MYSTERY BUT IT WAS A REAL SLOG.
For a book sold mainly on everyone's effection for Joe & Barack's adorbs friendship, why would you make the baffling choice to have them be mad at each other for nearly the entire book!? MASCULINITY IS A PRISON
This would be 1 star from me but the cover grants it 1 bonus star. TRAGICALLY the content does not match the delightful whimsy implied by the cover.

I have to start by saying that I adore Joe Biden and Barack Obama. And to have a book that is a buddy adventure mystery novel is probably the greatest thing to happen since the two left office. Seriously, if you love B-rack and Joey-B, this is definitely the book for you.
I loved seeing an “inside look” at how Joe looks up to Barack and misses him once they left office and went their respective ways. The book is a fun adventure with jokes and witticisms that left me chuckling. I think the Shaffer did a great job of providing us with a fun adventure, and honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing more of these adventures.
