The Last Woman in the Forest by Diane Les Becquets: Review

I was able to review an upcoming thriller that was written in a completely different manner than what we see from many authors. This book tells a story about a woman looking for herself and within that story a murder mystery is born.

Beautifully laid out and quite engrossing, here are my thoughts on this upcoming release.

The Last Woman in the Forest by Diane Les Becquets Review

As I mentioned previously, this book is written in a different manner than what we see in a typical suspense thriller or murder mystery. This book reads more as a women’s fiction story that evolves into something much more sinister.

Written in short sentences with a timeline that bounces back-and-forth between the present and the past, you have to be on your toes when reading this novel.

The author sneaks in tiny drips of clues and information. Just enough to make you doubt your gut feelings and wonder where the story is actually going.

Interesting and very unique, we get a birds-eye view of the job that those in conservation work truly do. The wonder of nature and the studies of animals and wildlife in their natural habitat is a huge part of the story.

But then you begin to wonder if everyone is as they truly seem to be. Women are dying and one woman in particular is very suspicious. Doubts sneak in as the man she truly loves seems to be the one responsible, or is it someone that she works with?

The story is written with deep subtlety that forces you to pay attention and keeps you completely engaged, wondering what’s next.

While the timeline bouncing back-and-forth does get to you and can frustrate you, it also heightens the suspense and brings in those chilling feelings and tell-tale creepy feels as the story winds up.

The author created a remarkable novel that is one of a kind tale of psychotic personalities that can completely consume you. Definitely not a book you will soon forget.
