A review by alexclare
Bitter Fruits by Alice Clark-Platts

5.0

The opening sentence sets the tone of chill and suspense for the whole book: 'The body was found in the icy coffin of the weir'.

A new DI has to investigate the death of a student at an elite college and uncovers the self-created seedy side of young, beautiful people. The pace is tight, with clues and dead ends all over the place. I cracked through it because the characters are portrayed vividly and you want to find out what happens to them.
