Now because the book is about a masked serial killer called The Hiding Man who haunts Portland, Oregon, as well as our protagonist Nola Strait, we wanted to dive into serial killers today.

I don't like to say his name. Not out loud. Not in my head. It sounds fanciful. It puts this real monster into a space that could be made to feel fun or contrived. I'm sure that's what he wanted from the start, to reinvent himself as the pure evil he was born to be, with a new name to show for it.

In what Geneva Rose declares a chilling and atmospheric tale, Nola Strait is being watched again. After an encounter with a notorious serial killer in the Pacific Northwest as a child, Nola has grown up and tried her best to forget her traumatizing night with The Hiding Man.

There's actually a book called The Hot One, a memoir of friendship, sex, and murder by Caroline Murnick, who was one of Ashley Elrin's childhood friends, and my cousin actually gave me this book about a year ago and I just connected it the other day when I saw this on an article.

By the way, everyone should go check out my cousin's book club on Instagram at Bellatrist.

The book talks about how the two grew up in rural New Jersey, but once they went to different high schools, they grew apart and Ashley was outgoing and popular while Caroline struggled to fit in.

Caroline explained that Ashley moved to Los Angeles where she went to college, but dropped out to begin stripping in Vegas and working as an escort.

She also started experimenting with drugs and dated many actors, including Ashton Kutcher and Vin Diesel, so Caroline describes The Hot One to be Ashley.

I've always wanted to be an author. My ancestor wrote Frankenstein, Mary Shelley Wollstonecraft.

Sounds like a book I know. Yeah, exactly. The girl with the dragon tattoo. Exactly.

It's something you might see in a Nancy Drew or murder she wrote.

Craig apparently wasn't a big fan of him either because he just sat around all day reading Catcher in the Rye.

A lot of people compare this case to the best-selling novel and Academy Award nominated film Gone Girl.

It's about a woman who is married to a man and becomes so resentful of him that she creates a false account of domestic abuse and then fakes her own abduction, rape, and attack.

Her original plan was to kill herself and have her husband blamed for the murder but then she changes her mind and the narrative of her story.

She then escapes her attacker in hopes of rebuilding her marriage.

She appears on TV and gains success and attention for this fabricated story so a lot of people see potential similarities from this story and Sherry's but again, she didn't seek attention at all after her disappearance and she actually did the opposite.

Police described her case as being like an Agatha Christie novel.
