Praise for The Last Woman in the Forest“A suspense-filled plot about the hunt for a serial killer….Les Becquets elegantly weaves in an evocative story about the wildlife study into a strong look at the characters whose life’s blood is being a part of nature….The Last Woman in the Forest offers a stunning view of the harshness of nature and the brutality of human nature.”—Associated Press“Diane Les Becquets is a gifted writer who combines a love of the outdoors with her skill as a storyteller to produce an exceptional novel of love and betrayal….A chilling story that slowly unravels, thanks to the expertise of an exceptional writer.’—The Denver Post “I raced through this gripping tale in two sittings, only pausing to admire the stunning views of the snowy wilderness. Beautifully paced and twisty.”—Fiona Barton, New York Times bestselling author of The Widow “This twisted thriller is the perfect pairing for a weekend afternoon.”—Brit & Co.“[An] elegantly written thriller…the story revs up, providing more than enough tension and suspense as Marian inches closer to the dangerous and disturbing truth.
