Product Description
Sally Edwards is the only realtor in the sleepy Hamptons town of Bayville, New York. Business is slow, and Sally is beginning to wonder if she will be able to make ends meet, when she receives an offer that seems to solve all of her problems. Her little company is bought out by Millennium 3, a large, multi-national conglomerate that has a mysterious history. Executives from Millennium 3 take over her office, and Sally is charged with the responsibility of purchasing as many homes in the community as possible.
As more and more homes are purchased, the residents of Bayville become suspicious of the new company's intentions. Sally is caught in the crossfire as the townspeople resist the purchase of their homes, and Millennium 3 increases their pressure tactics to purchase more property. Many residents--including Sally--begin to fear that Millennium 3 is trying to take over more than just the property of Bayville...

The Village Buyers takes place in a small town.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Village Buyers (Paperback)
THE VILLAGE BUYERS takes place in a small town on Long Island called Bayville. It is a typical community in that people's lives revolve around their homes. Many are aging empty nesters who dream of selling out and retiring to Florida. But there's a recession in Bayville. No homebuyers are on the radar. The narrator, Sally Edwards, is the town's real estate broker and she's barely making a living. Then a handsome, rich, stranger walks into her office, looking for property with ready cash. She thinks he's odd. He has blue eyes with hooded lids, a foreign accent and a vague background--he says he's from Alaska then changes it to "out West". Needy, greedy, and looking for love, Sally is attracted to him. She is suspicious enough of the stranger, however, to sketch his face and make notes if needed. Then in a moment of self-doubt, she denounces her actions. More and more of these blue-eyed, hooded lidded people arrive-all employees of Millennium 3, a real estate company,geared for takeover of Bayville by buying all the homes-- for sale or not. Murder and mayhem abound upsetting the small town. Who are these newly arrived people? They say they are from Asia, but have uncanny gifts. Are they aliens? Do they have a hidden agenda? The end of the book is a conundrum--one wonders if it was all a dreamA good read for pool side or at the beach.
