See all formats and editions
In the aftermath of World War II, mothers suffered from the loss of their sons the best way they could. Some tried to ease their grief by holding their daughters on a leash so tight it became unbearable. Twenty-three-year-old Reba Bicknell has been smothered to the point of rebellion. She accepts a daring ride behind a stranger on a powerful motorcycle which leaves her with a driving need to find him again and ride facing the wind. The search leads her to a slummy tavern where a motorcycle gang cuts loose and hangs free. While watching to see if Joe arrives to join a group of bikers, Reba witnesses the kidnapping of a young girl and reports the crime. Unaware, Reba is about to become the number one suspect and the target of the real killer, a woman with a burning vendetta who rides with the biker gang.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Right after World War II, a sheltered young woman's thirst for love and adventure on the back of a motorcycle leads her into places and perils she never imagines. Rich with historic detail, crackling with suspense, Marie Martin's latest book is another winner. ~ Debbie Burke, author of Twany Lindholm Thriller series.

Marie Martin's latest release Where's Joe perfectly captures the unsettling years following WWII. A sheltered small town Kansas woman falls for a charismatic stranger who gives her a ride on his motorcycle, but then he disappears. She gathers her courage to travel to Kansas City to find Joe. What she finds threatens to tear her family apart and even threatens her life. You'll love this story and cheer for Reba Bicknellin her quest to find love and independence. ~Ann Minnett, author of No Goat Farm and Traces.

An enthralling read primed for lovers of historical fiction set in the 1940's. ~ Angela Townsend, Executive filmmaker ~

When a restless young woman accepts a ride on a handsome stranger's motorcycle, she discovers the path of her life veers into dangerous adventures. Full of twists and turns, interesting characters, and surprises, this story is a vicarious trip back to the unsettled world of post World War II. Exciting read.

This was a long drawn out story about a young adult coming of age, discovering who she was, and making peace with herself. Along the way are intricate events linking Reba to a dark world. Long but well developed.

This was almost like a short story. It was well written. I was intriqued with it right up to the very end. I won't give the ending away so Ill just say I was kind of disappointed on the end. But the content of the book was well written. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a short enlivened look at someone who's life was repressed.

I chose this rating because the storyline had me from the beginning and that is important to me. It also held my attention throughout the story. The ending had a nice unexpected twist that I enjoyed. I look forward to seeing more of this authors work.

1.0 out of 5 stars At least one likeable character is a good thing
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
Shorter would have been better--Martin covered the same territory repeatedly. It did not build the story, it just protracted the unpleasantness. I would be hard pressed to identify a likeable character. There were numerous distracting editorial errors--the most egregious was probably WW11 for WWII. The story about the aunt married to the abusive alcoholic seemed gratuitous--was it to increase the page count? Is it really beastly hot in Kansas in early April? If Martin wanted hot, July or August would have been more believable. Vern's mother was Garnett or Garnet--it seemed optional. I skimmed a lot.

The story was well-written and engaging. It kept my attention. I was rooting for Reba the whole time. The ending was not what I expected, but it made sense.
