THE LAST WOMAN IN THE FOREST

Diane Les Becquets

In this new thriller from the author of Breaking Wild, a canine handler in love with her mentor makes a shocking discovery after he dies. She begins piecing together clues that suggest he might have been a serial killer and she was going to be his next victim.
On a conservation study in northern Alberta, field technician Marian Engström found her true calling: training rescue dogs to help track endangered or threatened wildlife. Under the tutelage of experienced handler Tate Mathias, Marian felt her future opening up before her.

After Tate is killed in a bear attack, Marian finds herself questioning the man she thought she loved. Growing inconsistencies start to surface, possibly linking Tate to the murders of four women over six years. Working with a retired forensic profiler who was never able to close the cases, Marian relives her relationship with Tate, desperately hoping to clear his name as a serial killer. And as she circles ever closer to the truth, evil stalks her every move.

From the lush and breathtaking Rocky Mountains to the vast deserts of Utah, The Last Woman in the Forest chronicles the experiences of a woman whose faith in the nature of man is about to be tested.

Diane Les Becquets is the former director of the MFA Program at Southern New Hampshire University, and is an avid outdoorswoman. Breaking Wild, her debut thriller was a national bestseller and an IndieBound bestseller.

Diane Les Becquets at her best: unflinching and terrifying, yet buoyed by hope and love. This novel scared me. but that didn't stop me from racing through it... This is a powerful novel, and a story I won't forget.

This melancholy but engaging tale is a great winter recommendation; try it with fans of other landscape-driven works, such as William Shaw's The Birdwatcher.

I raced through this gripping tale in two sittings, only pausing to admire the stunning views of the snowy wilderness. Beautifully paced and twisty

elegantly written thriller Read more...

A compelling and searing novel of grief, suspicion and examining the rugged terrain of the human heart.

A taut, well-crafted thriller that pulls readers in from the very first page and keeps them guessing until the very last. All this, while also illuminating universal truths about intuition, trust, and love.
