The Vanishing of Class 3B

The contrast between the everyday school environment and the mysterious disappearances really drew me in. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.

Some characters' motives kept shifting, which kept me guessing. I wonder if the author intentionally blurred the lines between innocence and guilt.

The pacing of revelations felt very deliberate, keeping me hooked without overwhelming me. I wonder what led to the choice of pacing the clues this way.
