The Hot Flash Club is a four-book series by Nancy Thayer, published between 2003 and 2006. Four women, Polly, Beth, Julia and Carolyn, meet at a spa and agree to help one another handle scheming in-laws and the rest of midlife. Female friendship, middle age, menopause and self-actualisation are the subjects, handled humorously, with Massachusetts as the setting. The Hot Flash Club (2003) opens the run, followed by The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again (2004), Hot Flash Holidays (2005) and The Hot Flash Club Chills Out (2006). The series is complete.
