My thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for a copy of “ The Vanishing Of Class 3 B” for an honest review.

I’ve enjoyed other books by Jackie Kabler and the premise for this book sounded intriguing.I enjoyed the first half of the book but, for me, the suspense didn’t last .I’d guessed what was going on , and struggled to finish the book , as things all became a little far fetched , and extreme for me .
An average read , when her other books have been so much better

What a brilliant read. The title is really punchy and I was really hoping that the story itself lived up to it and wasn’t flat. This certainly didn’t disappoint and I found that I read this in one day! Class 3B are due to go on a school trip with four members of staff. However their brand new minibus has a fault on it so they use one from the local taxi firm. Straight away I was intrigued as to whether this was relevant. All fourteen of them then go missing on their way back to school. An interesting group of characters, some more likeable than others. This had plenty of twists and turns and as soon as I thought I’d worked it out my predictions were either not as strong as I thought or I was proved totally wrong. This had me guessing right until the very end and I would definitely recommend this great read. Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review

THRILLING. ENTRALLING. OH WTF WORTHY!!!!

Jackie, Jackie my love you have earned yourself a new fan so long as you choose to produce content.

The Vanishing Class of 3B was pedal to the medal. I would give this book 10 stars if i could.. it starts in a quaint little village with the typical moms and dads of a rich suburban neighborhood. (I’m born and raised in California so my comparisons are of the only kind of neighborhoods I know.) 13 children and 4 teachers go off on a field trip and do not return. For FIVE days this story unfolds, lead by lead, day by day, even the ever so courteous time stamps. I couldn’t <b>*IMAGINE*</b> the way I would feel. So of course, a random right? That’s all they could want. It’s a rich neighborhood with rich parents and their most prize possessions, their children, have now been kid napped with no contact for days….

<I>Fast forward</I>

Shit gets REAL. And I mean REALLY REALLY REAL. When i tell you i say here and tried to guess who for upmost of 200 pages. I thought I knew, I thought I had it down! But boy was I wrong… when you realize what’s going on it’s to late! It’s enthralling cause after so long I was reading faster than my eyes could physically move. The ties in this book, I think I enjoyed that the most. I thoroughly enjoy characters and character ties that make me feel as if I need to grab a pen and paper and draw a map as to who’s connected to who and why. THIS MADE ME HAVE TO THINK AND REMEMBER AND I LOVE THAT. I had no clue where this was going or how this was REALLY going to end cause everytime i had it “figured” out I was way off.

This is better than any law & order SVU, criminal minds, desperate housewives kind of television show i ever encountered.

I need part 2, & for the love of god can you do a deal for this book on a television show??? I’ll call Netflix myself. Hats off to you. This was pure brilliance and I am now mad I finished the whole book.

<I><b>THANK YOU JACKIE, and thank you to netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.</i></b>

…brb going to find & buy the rest of Jackie Kablers books.

Young children out on a field trip for a day suddenly go missing.
Ten young kids and their teachers go on a bus for a day out to a local animal park. When the parents go to pick them up from school that evening, the bus never shows up. The head teacher tries to call the teachers who accompanied the children, but their cell phones appear to have been turned off. Hours pass, the parents are getting desperate. How could a whole bus and occupants just disappear.
I found this book to be interesting and it did have enough mystery and a good ending to keep me reading to the end.
I thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this story. I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, especially when it became clear that there were a lot of secrets to be discovered.

Full of twists and turns, right to the very end.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy.

If I am being honest I thought the premise for this sounded odd and I was unsure how Kabler could pull this off. Well Kabler did pull it off! I found this to be a gripping read and I wanted to keep reading to find out what had happened to the class of 3B. As the book progressed I did find myself thinking there is only one resolution to this which did turn out to be true, but it did not spoil the book for me as I enjoyed seeing how Kabler leads the plot in that direction and seeing everything tied up was satisfying.
The characters are an eclectic set and all are in possession of secrets that we learn as the book progresses. They were all worth discovering and I enjoyed guessing what they might be before they were revealed.
I did really enjoy this read, I did think some areas bordered on the ridiculous but I found it an enthralling read.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for an advance copy.

An enjoyable read that kept me guessing. The premise of the book is engaging - how is it possible for a whole minibus of pupils and teachers to disappear as they return from a school trip?
I found the book a little slow at the start and as there were so many characters it was a bit confusing to keep track of, especially the different sets of parents with children on the bus.
However, I enjoyed it more as I got into it and as the story reached its climax I wanted to keep reading to discover what had happened. I particularly enjoyed the chapters told from the perspective of Luca, one of the children on the minibus.

A class of children and their teachers travel in a bus to a field trip. As their parents await their return, it soon becomes clear that they aren't coming - the bus has vanished along with all the children and teachers. What has happened to Class 3B?

This was the first book by this author I've read and I absolutely loved it! I found it really gripping and couldn't stop turning the pages until the shocking ending. Lots of twists and turns and surprises. Brilliant!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of the book in return for my honest feedback.

4 stars
Well this was a fresh thriller! It was pretty much non stop intensity. I read it in one sitting. I never quite knew who was responsible. I highly recommend,

Class 3B are setting off on a day trip. Children excited for the day ahead. The day is nearly cancelled when the school minibus develops a fault. However, a replacement is found after a delayed start.
At the end of the day the parents gather anxiously in the school yard. The children and their teachers haven’t returned. They have all vanished.
As everyone gathers to wait there safe return it sound becomes apparent that they have been taken. As parents receive messages and ultimately a ram son demand. All the parents seem to have something to hide but who is the real target?
Will everyone make it home safely and what is the reason behind the kidnapping.
A well thought out book by Jackie Kabler and a very enjoyable read.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to see an ARC.

What another amazing book this was from this author. The disappearance of a mini bus of schoolchildren was plenty to get me interested and it did not disappoint. You are constantly drip fed another part to the story throughout the book to keep the tension going . The neighbours with their back stories added immensely to the story . This was definitely one to read and I would highly recommend to my followers. Definitely 5 stars from me

This read like a bad episode of Midsomer Murders. Quaint English town, mysterious crime, textbook cast of characters,secrets abound. Too many chapters with mini cliff hangers. Probably the worse police officers imaginable . They were always worried and made some really bad decisions.
The big secret did not seem all that explosive. The other secret was much worse and the people involved seemed to get away with it!
Thanks to net galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is, hands down, my fav read in 23 so far. The Vanishing of Class 3B be J. Kabler, published by Harper Collins UK / One More Chapter is a page turner of its finest, a phenomenal read. Full of unexpected twists and turns the book had in suspense right from the start til the very unexpected end - an end that I so never saw coming.
The storyline is set in a village in the beautiful Cotwolds UK, includes elementary school children and adults that simply vanished. An hectic search for them brings secrets and more secrets to light. IMO the true hero is Reynold, a flawed hero that touched my heart.
A story that burrows deep, deep under the skin. Stays with the reader long after finishing the book.
I recommend the book, 5 stars.

I was really, really excited by the idea of this storyline. A group of kids goes in a field trip and doesn’t return? Count me in!

However, the way things unfolded didn’t end up sitting with me all that well.

To start, there being two couples that were having affairs just seemed too… expected. Everything kind of stemmed around affairs in the end too with two of the staff ending up being the children of one of the parents. I thought the reason for the kidnapping would honestly be a bit more substantial.

Overall, the suspense was pretty good in places and definitely kept me on my toes. I didn’t love how many points of view there were, and the police headquarters chapters were NOT my favourite.

I liked this book, but certainly didn’t love it. I want to thank NetGalley for this ARC!

A brilliant storyline in that 4 teachers and their pupils are taken hostage on the way home from a school trip,

All the families and the Head Teacher are involved and fully expect some sort of kidnap and ransom.

There was a short time in the book when the characters were going nowhere except to get in their cars and 'help' the police. However, Confession Night changed all that and I really enjoyed all the secrets and the behaviour of the characters.

No more spoilers from me with this pretty decent suspense/thriller.

Thanks to Net Galley and Harper Collins UK One More Chapter for the chance to read and review.

This was such an unusual story which makes a nice surprise. A group of school children are on a field trip with 4 teachers and they don't return at the expected time. Lots of the parents seem worried about a secret they hold and that it may have been the reason the children went missing. Absorbing and tense, this well written novel kept me enthralled and indulging in long reading sessions in order to uncover the lies and secrets that the protagonist is hiding.

This was a pretty good thriller. It was slow going at first and I nearly put it down, but Confession Night sparked a raging fire. The book took me on a wild roller coaster from the point on of twists and turns. One element, however, bothered me throughout the book: the characters. They melded together, completely unidentifiable from one another. They didn't habe their own personalities at all. Very weak characterization which really took away from a unique thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the ARC.

The title and plot grabbed me, straight away but the writing felt flat in places which detracted from a potential five star rating. The characters I found I couldn’t connect to. They were unlikeable, flawed in a way. This was the first book that I have read by this author.

Thank you One More Chapter and Net Galley for an early copy of The Vanishing of Class 3B. Wow!!! What a Great plot! It was a bit slow moving in the beginning wondering what happened but once they had confession night, BAM that was when it picked up speed and went out of control!!!! Really good characters, I couldn’t wait to find out the WHY! I never saw the very ending and I’m usually good at figuring plots out. Jackie Kabler keep writing please.

I was really intrigued by the premise of this book. I thought that the author built up suspicion really well and I felt like I was suspecting everybody at one point. I thought the characters were well fleshed out and the tension was addictive. However the only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because of the ending. I felt like it was a bit too much out of left field and went a bit nuts to be honest. It didn’t have the impact it would have had if the author had left any red herrings. This was a case of things being deliberately omitted and not thought about which was a bit unrealistic. I did like the way the author made commentary about the rich and poor divide and the social commentary was apt and relevant. It was a really good read, I just wish it had ended differently.
