A stunning debut novel of love, murder, tragedy and redemption.
Lore Rivera was married to two men at once, until on a baking hot day in 1986, one of them found out and shot the other. A secret double life, a tragic murder. That's the story the world knows.
It's not the story that fascinates Cassie Bowman.
Carrying the weight of her own family tragedy, true-crime writer Cassie wants to know more about the mysterious woman at the heart of it all, Lore. How did one woman fall in love with two different men? How did she balance the love and the lies? And, in the aftermath of the worst possible ending, how has she managed to go on?
To her surprise, Cassie finds that Lore is willing to talk. To finally tell her spellbinding, heartbreaking story - about how a dance became an affair; how a marriage became a murder.
As the two women grow closer, Cassie finds she can't help but confess her own darkest secrets. But when she slowly starts to realise that there might be more to the night of the murder than anyone has realised, can either woman face up to the thing they've been hiding from: the truth?

Reviews
A stunning portrait of female reckoning - Katie Gutierrez creates layered and vivid characters, forced to confront the complexities of their own desires. An immaculate novel that explores marriage and choice, partnership and autonomy, More Than You'll Ever Know is a wonder to behold A taut, unputdownable thriller, but also a gorgeously written examination of motherhood, ambition, and sacrifice, set between Texas and Mexico city. I loved every moment. This is a crime book unlike any I've read before. More Than You'll Ever Know is written with such beauty and tenderness - about the ferocity of love, the lure of desire, and the strength of family bonds. It blew me away An evocative drama . . . This masterful work of literary suspense marks the debut of an extraordinary new writer Every book here does something new and exciting within the genre, managing to tackle big, weighty themes while also being exceptionally readable . . . An unapologetic, unflinching examination of love, sacrifice and desire A sweeping novel, unflinching and evocative in its engrossing study of love, motherhood, sex, Mexico, journalism and more Enthralling and beautifully written Suspenseful, seductive, gorgeously written Breath-taking and brimming with empathy, exploration of motherhood, marriage, and the consequences that come from obsessions with true crime An electrifying debut I was enthralled with More Than You'll Ever Know from the very first pages of Gutierrez's rich and assured writing. A gripping and thoughtful exploration of motherhood and marriage, the complexity of female desire, and the consequence of our obsession with true crime, it's one of the best suspenseful dramas I've read in years. An exceptional, stunning debut-I absolutely loved it I love this book more than Dolores "Lore" Rivera loves both her families and now you have to read this book to understand what I mean With beautifully written prose and razor-sharp insight, Katie Gutierrez draws us into More Than You'll Ever Know's gripping and complex world. Even as the dual storylines left me breathless, I found myself more captivated by Gutierrez's intimate and compassionate portrayal of these women, their men, and the many secrets they kept. Passionate, supremely intelligent, and thrilling A tale of two women, two timelines, two sides of a border and two husbands, More Than You'll Ever Know is a novel both compelling and resonant - a novel which grips you like a thriller as you are reading it, with characters and themes which linger in the mind like the best literary fiction. This is an unforgettable story, told brilliantly - one of those novels where from the first page you know you are in the hands of a writer of verve, confidence and convictionIntelligent and nuanced . . . raises a host of difficult but fascinating questions
