Thirsty Thursdays

The Hobbs Series, Book 4

By Elena Graf

Can an aggressive hedge-fund founder find a place in a small Maine town?

Hobbs, Maine, is gradually reopening after the lockdown. Town doctor Liz Stolz has begun a new tradition, Thirsty Thursdays, a weekly cocktail party on her deck, so her friends can socialize safely.

Architect Samantha McKinnon has recently moved to Maine to start a renovation business. Liz recommends Sam to do a bathroom remodel for the most hated woman in town, Olivia Enright-a super-rich, retired hedge fund manager whose outspoken, right-wing views have alienated everyone, especially police chief, Brenda Harrison. Meanwhile, Brenda’s budding relationship with her biracial girlfriend, Cherie Bois, is on rocky ground after the high-profile death of a black man at the hands of the police.

The pandemic has taken an economic toll on the town. Liz is keeping Hobbs Family Practice going with her own money because people are afraid to go to the doctor. Donations to St. Margaret’s have plummeted, and Reverend Lucy Bartlett wonders how they’ll pay the parish salaries and maintain the church. An impulsive kiss shakes up friendships and relationships. Meanwhile, pretentious, overbearing Olivia is pursuing Sam and trying to find her way into the tight-knit group. Will the down-to-earth, independent women of Hobbs accept an outsider who’s so different?
