Illustration for the thriller edition of the New York Times book review, covering Katie Gutierrez’s novel, “More Than You’ll Ever Know”. A twisty narrative searching for one woman’s motivation to lead a destructive double life.
“The clear question at the center of Gutierrez’s novel is this: What would possess a woman to betray her seemingly happy family with an arrangement that is so clearly doomed from the start? What was she thinking and what was the grand plan? The explanation begins somewhere in frog-boiling territory — “How could one dance lead to this?” Lore asks at one point when the water is already quite hot — and winds its way into suicide mission.” - Chandler Baker
