An interesting mystery, this book uses as main characters Obama and Biden. In the story, they are trying to unravel the mystery of who killed one of Amtrak's well-known railroad workers and tried to make it look like suicide. The plot thickens with mysterious people, sad people, and people who think it is okay to run drugs. It is a unique take on the Obama-Biden team.

3,5 stars!
What a fun read about the dynamic duo, Obama-Biden, post their retirement from White House. This was written before Biden ran for president. All the bromance is here, and the banter between the ever so cool Obama and the fumbling grandpa Biden was so hilarious. Although maybe the sentiment for both of them is changing now, I still think this is a fun read especially for reminiscing a better time in America :)

Averaging out to 3 stars: 4 stars for the concept, 2 for the implementation. Pretty mediocre as a “mystery” and the writing could be better, but I read this primarily to enjoy a fictional portrayal of Obama and Biden post-White House. I was rewarded with a smattering of entertaining dialog—best part of the book.
2.5
What a ridiculous book. The plot is like if Stephanie Plum were the former Vice President. I know it’s supposed to be campy and ridiculous, but I rolled my eyes much more than I smiled.
