However, at the end of the day when the parents arrive to collect their children it seems that something must have happened on their journey home as they have vanished. Also the detective work was really bad. I mean they seemed like half of the time like they had no clue what to do. Like… go and investigate? You get a clear clue that the parents are hiding something and you don’t call them in? It felt really amateurish to me. Argh. The reasoning behind everything was too simple, the plot easy to figure out and the story flat. The secrets? Don’t get me started on that. I am really sorry to say. I was bored. This was a mostly enjoyable but predictable read I did love the initial mystery which is what first grabbed my attention and sold me on reading this. There’s just something about a whole bus of primary school children just vanishing into thin air that equally repels and entices it’s definitely every parent's worst nightmare including mine. So class 3b head off on a school trip to a local wildlife park only to fail to return on schedule all 10 primary-age children plus 4 teachers have seemingly vanished into thin air. This is then told from multiple viewpoints as the parents some of them quite high/profile experience all of the fear and uncertainty whilst also wrestling with many skeletons and demons in their personal closets.
To be honest, this was once again a case of FOMO. I know this was most likely not the book for me, turned out I was right, but I went to request it anyway. The Vanishing of Class 3B follows a primary school class and their teachers on a day trip that goes terribly wrong. As the parents wait to collect their children, they realize that the class and their teachers are missing. Clear your schedules before glancing into this absolutely addictive and explosive psychological thriller as once your hooked there's no letting go until the very end!!This engaging thriller is told from multiple points-of-view. There are a lot of characters with a lot of secrets, making it a lot of fun to read! When a bus full of children and their teachers on a school field trip disappear, detectives assigned to the case start taking a close look at the parents of the young students. Many of the parents are wealthy and famous and some of the things they are unwilling to disclose to the police could have devastating effects on the fate of the missing children. PS. One of you has a secret. We know what it is. And if you want to keep it a secret, it's time to PAY."
One spring morning, a bus full of children and their teachers from a Cotswolds primary school head off on a much-anticipated day trip. However, despite its promising premise, The Vanishing of Class 3B falls short in its execution. For me, the book was an average read, failing to fully engage my attention throughout. The story often dragged in certain places, making it difficult to maintain interest. Additionally, I found the narrative to be repetitive which further hindered my enjoyment.This novel consists of 52 chapters. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case! I have to be careful what I say here, as I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I was a bit baffled by some of the science at the heart of this plot – it didn’t quite work how I always thought these things did and Google was no help at all in enlightening me. Still, I’m not an expert so maybe that was just a ‘me’ thing! The picturesque village of Littleford was full of secrets, which were slowly revealed as the action unfolded. Some of the parents were quite wealthy and couldn’t risk such exposure. The characters in “The Vanishing of Class 3B” are well-developed and relatable, each with their own motivations and secrets. The narrative alternates between different perspectives, allowing readers to gain insight into the thoughts and emotions of various individuals affected by the disappearance. From the distraught parents to the determined investigators, the characters bring depth and complexity to the story, ensuring readers remain emotionally invested in the outcome. It’s a police procedural slash mystery suspense and though the subject is definitely an attention grab the story itself was less so. It was quite predictable and I managed to guess extremely early on parts of this it was just so obvious to me. Then when the reasoning behind it all was revealed it was just felt so meh and underwhelming.
