Willowbrook. This item is unavailable.Willowbrook

Eddie Marchant, a former Detective Senior Sergeant in the NZ Police's Financial Intelligence Unit, and his wife Liz move to Willowbrook, a brand new lifestyle village for over 55s nestled in the heart of New Zealand's North Island. As they settle into village life, they encounter a colourful cast of characters: Millie, the self-proclaimed 'Mayoress'; Coralie, a former Medécins sans Frontières nurse seeking peace and companionship; Herschel, a computer nerd immersed in artificial intelligence; Douglas, a former CEO abandoned by his scheming ex-wife; Ruth and Aidan, former missionaries grappling with the aftermath of a financial scandal; and the enigmatic Miss Muckle with her unsightly dog, Smooch. She seems to be just a mildly batty old woman with strange habits, but appearances can be deceptive.

Anne Harding is a writer, researcher, amateur historian, editor, proofreader and keeper of one husband and two cats. Now retired from a long career in finance and administration, she lives in a small settlement near the beautiful town of Cambridge, in the heart of New Zealand's Waikato district. Willowbrook is her first published novel, and she is already working on the first of many sequels.
