About this listen
‘An ingenious plot, a captivating cast of character, and twists and turns that kept me guessing to the last page, loved it!’ Amanda Reynolds
What happens when your worst nightmare comes true?
One spring morning, a bus full of children and their teachers from a Cotswolds primary school head off on a much-anticipated day trip.
But as night falls and the well-heeled parents – one or two of them famous, as well as wealthy – wait at the school to collect their weary offspring, it soon becomes clear that something has gone very wrong.
The children and their teachers simply do not come back.
What’s happened doesn’t seem possible.
How can an entire class of children simply vanish?

I felt that the author needed to have researched in greater detail how thoroughly schools actually have to plan school trips, because the arrangements were far too slapdash to be realistic, and I found the parts about how the school communicated with the parents to be very inaccurate.
Anyone with any connection to the police force is likely to have similar qualms about the decisions of the police and the information shared with the parents throughout the story.
I have to say though, that the whole reason for the kidnapping was a big letdown. The fact that the perpetrator/s had held the grudge and planned it for such a long time, led me to believe that the reason was going to be something really unexpected, but in fact it was not.
It just didn’t seem like any of the secrets that were revealed through the course of the book would be of interest to the world around them, and would certainly not be fuel for blackmail.
The narrator did a good job, but was so nasal, that it irritated me.
Overall, I wanted to enjoy the book more than I actually did. It was good in places, and I liked that it was told from the POV of characters in different ‘roles’ in the book, but it was just too unlikely and underdeveloped for me.
Interesting idea, but could have been better
