Katie Gutierrez made a strong entrance with More Than You’ll Ever Know (2022), a debut that landed on several best-of lists and was picked up as a Reese’s Book Club selection. The novel toggles between 1980s Texas and Mexico, where a woman named Lore maintains two separate marriages, and the present day, where a true crime podcaster digs into the story after one husband kills the other.

Gutierrez grew up on the Texas-Mexico border, and that bicultural landscape is central to the book. The novel is less interested in whodunit than in why, and it treats its central character with more nuance than the true crime genre typically allows. It’s a book about the gap between who someone is and who others decide they are.
