Marian Engström loves working with rescue dogs to help protect endangered wildlife. In a new assignment to northern Alberta, Marian is assigned to work with Tate, who she eventually falls in love with. But months later on a different assignment, Marian is blindsided when she learns Tate has been killed in a bear attack. In her grief, Marian begins to question the man she loved. There are inconsistencies in his life and she starts to wonder if he could be the man responsible for four women's brutal murders...

THE LAST WOMAN IN THE FOREST by Dian Les Becquets felt like an unusual thriller, with the main suspect also being dead. Could it really be that the man killed in a freak animal attack was also a serial killer? Marian Engström loved Tate and now she has to try to figure out if she really knew him at all. I really enjoyed the setting of the book in northern Alberta and Marian's job of working with endangered wildlife. And, of course, the terror of a serial killer that targets women. Marian Engström is a likable and relatable character - what a horrible situation to question one's dead boyfriend. And not for being a petty criminal, but a serial killer. I have to admit that the ending was not really a big surprise, but I enjoyed reading the book and definitely want to read more books by Diane Les Becquets.
