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.
