Tell Me What You Did is a perfect novel for fans of true crime podcasts and morally ambiguous main characters. Bonus points for Bailey the dog and Grimm the cat.

Tell Me What You Did is a fast paced, physiological murder mystery that kept me hooked from the beginning. I loved the podcast element that gives a look into Poe’s past and kept me guessing the whole way through. This is a high stakes story, one that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Arc Review!
Tell Me What You Did - Carter Wilson
Release Date: January 14, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Poe has a popular podcast in which she invites guests to come on and confess to their crimes without having to reveal their identities, just their voice. However, one evening a guest joins and claims to be behind her mother’s tragic murder she witnessed years ago. But Poe knows that’s impossible..because, she killed him herself. So, who is this man, and why does he know all the details including this secret she has been carrying?

When I tell you this book was a ROLLERCOASTER I mean it! It took me a while to finish it because I read at night and kept getting so scared 🫣 The concept of this story had me captivated right away from Poe’s podcast and then I wanted to know the truth of who this mysterious man was and what really happened.

If you’re looking for a psychological thriller that will have your heart pounding and your mind reeling, this is the one! Carter did such a great job with the characters and some of his details were so eerie and disturbing but it made for a great story!

Thank you to @netgalley for giving me access to this arc in exchange for an honest review🫶🏼

A truly gripping thriller that creeped me out in the best way possible. I loved the flow of the book and how it was formatted. Listening to a lot of podcasts also helped me enjoy the story. This is my second Carter Wilson book and I plan on reading more.

A thriller book about a true crime podcast!? Sign me up!! I really enjoyed this unique story. The MC has an important roll in finding killers but what secrets is she hiding? I love this!

This was CREEPY. Wow. I absolutely loved this one & could not put it down. Left me checking the house to see if there was anyone there!

Tell Me What You Did is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. Its unique premise, flawed characters, and twisted plot make it a standout in the genre. While it may not be an easy read at times, the payoff is worth the investment. The novel's climax is both shocking and satisfying, and the epilogue provides a surprising perspective that adds a whole new layer of depth to the story. If you enjoy books that will keep you up all night, guessing until the very end, then "Tell Me What You Did" is the perfect choice.

Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson was straight-up wild. This thriller had me in a chokehold from page one—like, the twists? Insane. The vibe was super tense, and the unreliable characters kept me second-guessing everything. It’s giving trust issues, but in the best way.

Some parts dragged a little, but overall, this book slaps. If you’re into fast-paced mysteries that leave you shook, add this to your TBR ASAP. Major thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Wow! I’m late to the Carter Wilson party but so happy to be here. Fresh new take on podcast thrillers. Great characters that kept me flipping pages long into the night. Tense and exciting. I loved it.
Thank you NetGalley, Carter Wilson and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read and review this cracker of a book.

I could not turn the pages fast enough! This book is sinister, gripping and wickedly addictive.

Poe is a true crime podcaster who interviews people who want to anonymously confess their crimes. Her podcast is called Tell Me What You Did. But the tables are turned when a creepy looking man, Ian Hindley, calls into the show. He demands a livestream on her podcast where he will be expecting Poe to do the confessing. She must agree to his terms or her loved ones will suffer.

The plotting is fast-paced, dark and brilliantly creative. I haven’t read a thriller this good in a very long time. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Thank you, NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the eARC.

This book had me at crime podcast - and then with the added twist of having people actually confess crimes on the podcast - I was hooked.
This was a nail biting read with so many twists and turns. I honestly did not know how it was going to work out for Poe especially with Hindley and his sick mind games.
This was an amazing read, and if you're a fan of fast paced thrillers that keep you on your toes. This is the one for you!!

This was such a thrilling read!

I really loved the twist it had on the podcast of people confessing their deepest secrets.

The writing was well done.
The characters were easy to connect with.
The story was such a rollercoaster of not knowing what will happen next.

From the main character struggling with life in general in the beginning, to her showing up and being honest herself and those she loves and finding her self worth in the end.

I loved this book and its concept. It was completely original and kept me guessing. I loved the short chapters, and the fast pace of the plot. I have already recommended this book to others and look forward to reading more from this author.

Thank you Poisoned Press publishing and Carter Wilson for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

“She gets people to confess their crimes for a living. He knows she's hiding a terrible secret. It's time for the truth to come out...

Poe Webb, host of a popular true crime podcast, invites people to anonymously confess crimes they've committed to her audience. She can't guarantee the police won't come after her "guests," but her show grants simultaneous anonymity and instant fame―a potent combination that's proven difficult to resist. After an episode recording, Poe usually erases both criminal and crime from her mind.

But when a strange and oddly familiar man appears on her show, Poe is forced to take a second look. Not only because he claims to be her mother's murderer from years ago, but because Poe knows something no one else does. Her mother's murderer is dead.

Poe killed him.” - summary

Poe is a young woman tormented by the murder of her mother when she was just 13 years old.My first read from Carter Wilson but definitely won’t be my last! Gripping, fast paced, and suspenseful. I love books that have a podcast theme to them and I can’t wait to hear the audible!
4.5 stars! I loved being on the edge of my seat

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but it certainly wasn’t what I got.

I read the entire book in nearly one sitting, it had me hooked from the first few pages and I couldn’t stop reading to find out what happened.

The premise of a true crime podcast host turned guest on her own show was engaging immediately. I am usually a little weary of morally grey characters, but definitely found myself rooting for Poe as more of the story unfolded.

I’ve already recommended this book to several friends, what a great read!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I am a thriller girly thru and thru. But I don't typically listen to true crime podcasts instead I read about them like this book. This book took me for a great ride and I din't catch the twists. I think this would also be an excellent audiobook.

A fast paced thriller... this true crime podcast gets an interviewee that hits closer to home than she would have expected. When her secrets start tumbling out, it's a race to see what the killer's next moves will be. A few twists that were fun to guess. Written in a dual timeline, you stay ahead while learning what happened in the past. I could do with less of the unneeded profanity.

Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

4.75 - the only reason this book isn’t 5 stars for me is because I guessed the plot twists, but this was an absolutely phenomenal read. I couldn’t put it down, even when I knew where it was likely going. Poe was the perfect main character, so flawed but strong. I need to go back and read Alice’s book because this is one of my top reads of 2024. It was thrilling but I also felt for Poe and her loved ones so deeply, I wanted to see how it was all going to end and the description of Ian and the way he looked actually gave me goosebumps. What a fantastic book!

This is definitely going to be in my top reads of the year! I’ve never read this author before and now he’s definitely added to my list.

Poe is a true-crime podcaster who has short interviews with people that confess their crimes. She is shook to her core when a man appears on her video chat and says he’s the man who murdered her mother almost two decades prior.

This book was absolutely gripping. From the very first couple of chapters I just knew I would love it and it absolutely delivered. Some thrillers aren’t super believable but this one could have been real! I love thrillers with podcast elements 👌🏻 and this one also had serial killers and short chapters. Chefs kiss.

Pub date has been moved to 1/28/25 but absolutely put it on your radar!
Thanks so much to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for my ARC!
