Auld Acquaintance: The Gripping Scottish Murder Mystery Set to Thrill over the Festive Period

Millie Partridge is invited to a Hebridean Island for New Years Eve by her ex-colleague Nick, but things go wrong when the ferry drops her off. The stately home is more down at heel than Downton Abbey, and Nick has not arrived yet. An old acquaintance from Millie's past, Penny Maybury, has been invited, too, and Millie has been trying to forget about her. On New Years Eve, Penny is missing, and the group is trapped on the island until they find out what happened.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?

Millie Partridge desperately needs a party. So, when her (handsome and charming) ex-colleague Nick invites her to a Hebridean Island for New Years Eve, she books her ticket North. But things go wrong the moment the ferry drops her off. The stately home is more down at heel than Downton Abbey. Nick hasnt arrived yet. And the other revellers? Politely, they arent exactly who she would have pictured Nick would be friends with. Worse still, an old acquaintance from Millies past has been invited, too. Penny Maybury. Millie and Nicks old colleague. Somebody Millie would rather have forgotten about. Somebody, in fact, that Millie has been trying very hard to forget.

Waking up on New Years Eve, Penny is missing. A tragic accident? Or something more sinister? With a storm washing in from the Atlantic, nobody will be able to reach the group before they find out.

One thing is for sure – theyre going to see in the new year with a bang.

Tense, moody, and claustrophobic, Auld Acquaintance is the unputdownable debut by Sofia Slater.
