Thank you Netgalley for this arc, I really enjoyed it. I was at the edge of my seat the entire book. I highly recommend reading this. It deserves 5 stars.

A guest on her show creeps Poe and her boyfriend Kip out and then confesses to the murder of Poe's mother and insinuating he knows more about Poe including a crime she committed.
This book had me on the edge of my seat, I hated to have to set it down but had to get some sleep. The pacing keeps you turning pages trying to figure out what's going on. I enjoyed it immensely and didn't want it to end. A totally mind blowing read. Thanks to netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the chance to review this thrilling read and thanks to Carter Wilson for writing such a story.

3.5*...The premise of this thriller was a grabber...a podcaster who has people confess their crimes anonymously on her show. But turns out she may be the one with secrets in need of confessing. I typically read domestic thrillers with not much detail about the crime itself--no gore or anything explicit. The focus is more on how the crime is solved. This skirted somewhere in between. It wasn't overly detailed but didn't leave much to the imagination either. I struggled a little to like any character much...and therefore found it hard to root for Poe. But I was invested to read to the end nevertheless. I did figure out the main twist pretty early on but was still intrigued. This was my first Wilson book but likely won't be my last.
Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC. All opinions are mine.

This was my first book by Carter Wilson. I enjoyed the writing style and overall feel of the book. However, I think the only reason I cannot give it 5 stars is due to the fact that I didn't connect to the main character, Poe. In fact, I didn't care about what happened to her, and she irritated me to no end. I also thought the book was a bit drawn out in the middle, and I got kind of burnt out with it. I will definitely check out more books by Wilson. 3.5 stars.

Wow what a ride. I had so many feelings throughout this book and the ending was everything and nothing that I expected. A quick read and I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

This was an amazing psychological thriller. Fast paced with great characters. I finished this in one sitting.

This book was unputdownable, from the pacing to the style format to the characters, it was a perfect thriller to read. I really enjoyed the transcript pieces that told of what was to come, it really keeps your mind racing trying to figure everything out. Thank you so much to Poisoned Pen Press, Carter Wilson and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

3.5 stars

Poe is the host of a podcast called “tell me what you did”, where she has strangers on anonymously to confess to their crimes. one day, she gets a suspicious guest on her podcast who seems to know the secret Poe’s been hiding and is determined to flip the script— forcing Poe to admit what she’s done this time. i recently stated that i was getting tired of these podcasts thrillers but i think that element was crucial to this storyline, so it worked better for me with this book. Poe was an interesting protagonist cause she’s not just cut and clean, she has a darker side to her. the guest Hindley, is completely deranged and a stalker, the tension was definitely very present. i will say that the reveal wasn’t the most shocking though and i feel like this book could’ve been at least 50 pages shorter cause it started to drag a bit.. still enjoyed it for the most part!

Main character Poe has a successful podcast and was also a surviving victim of a tragic crime against a family member. But when a mysterious man insists on doing a live stream conversation with Poe on her podcast, she learns a shocking secret about that crime.

The Goodreads ratings on this are a little higher than I'd give myself, but this is a solid twisty book with a good amount of suspense!

Poe interviews people who have committed awful crimes anonymously for her podcast, and eventually she’s the one being interviewed for killing her mother’s murderer. This was such a fast paced read! I loved the alternating timeline and format throughout the book.

This book started as a wild ride and did not let up. The pacing was consistent throughout and I saw the value of each of the characters and each of the events that took place. The overall vibe was very creepy and I could feel my heart pounding each time a suspenseful scene came up. I find this book just perfect if someone is a reading slump and likes thrillers because this will work. I enjoyed this author for a previous book before reading this one, and will continue with the back-list after this. Thanks for writing such a good book. Oh! And before I forget: thank you for being mental-health aware/forward. It is so nice to it so well represented, and even being in our MMC head, it was clear she wasn't 'brain empty no thoughts' and that is so appreciated - tho she should have ran for her life when he was at her house and she was rental... I'll let that one slide :)

Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson is like stepping into a room where every shadow could be a lie and every person might be someone you shouldn’t trust—including yourself. It’s twisty, atmospheric, and brimming with the kind of tension that makes you second-guess turning the page late at night.

Poe Webb is one of those main characters who pulls you in immediately. She’s sharp, morally gray, and you can’t help but root for her—even though you know from the get-go she’s sitting on a devastating secret. A true crime podcaster who makes a living off of confessions? That premise alone is a goldmine. And Wilson makes good on it by adding layers of emotional complexity, personal stakes, and a killer twist (pun intended). You’re not just listening to strangers confess their sins—you’re watching Poe unravel her own truth, piece by horrifying piece.

Then there’s him—the man who strolls onto her show and upends her entire narrative. The tension between them feels like a chess game where every move is soaked in dread. He says he killed her mom. She knows that’s impossible because, well... she already handled that. And that’s the hook that kept me glued to the story. Is this guy messing with her? Is he part of something bigger? Is Poe’s memory as airtight as she believes?

Wilson’s pacing is spot-on. He lets the suspense simmer but knows when to crank it up, making for a thriller that feels cinematic. There’s a sense of unease that lingers—like the story itself is watching you, daring you to figure it out before it’s too late. The way he explores the idea of guilt and morality is another strength. Are murderers always the villains, or are some acts of violence just the cost of survival? The book doesn’t spoon-feed you answers—it forces you to sit with the discomfort of the question.

That said, there were a couple of moments where the plot got a little tangled in its own ambition. Some of the side characters felt a bit underdeveloped, serving more as plot devices than actual people. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for a story that kept me guessing right up until the final reveal.

Four stars because it’s not perfect, but it’s damn good. If you’re into slow-burn thrillers with morally complicated leads, this one is going to scratch that itch. And let’s be real: true crime podcasts and secrets that refuse to stay buried? That’s a recipe for binge-reading.

Tell Me What you Did is a fast paced, page turning thriller that hooks you from the beginning!!! This book makes the reader want to keep reading more to find out what happens next.
The story follows Poe who is the host of a podcast where she invites people to confess their crimes. As the story progresses we learn that Poe has a tragic past which has now resurfaced. Now she finds herself interviewing someone who claims killed her mom but she knows this can't be true since she took the life of the man who murdered her mom.
Could she have gotten it wrong? She must continue to interact with this person to find out.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this book. You can't help but feel bad for Poe considering everything that she went through when she was so young. Throughout the book the reader learns that even though she may seem to have a normal life she is still haunted by the loss of her mom and having to live with what she did to avenge her murder.
The book does alternate between different types of POV such as being "live" on the podcast, to going into present time as well as the past. This storyline was very well executed and I can't wait to read more from this author!
This book is for you if you love fast paced thrillers! Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press. All opinions are my own.

Needless to say I think I may have found my next must read author. I was totally not expecting to enjoy this read as much as I did.
Poe is a deeply flawed fmc. Not even sure we could call her a protagonist……either way her flaws are what move her and the plot along. Alice though stole my heart even in her small role. And now I’ll have to back and read her book.
true crime podcast part of this and how it was interwoven in the book kept things interesting. And the ending had me going what just happened???
Definitely worth a read for thriller/mystery fans.
I received an ARC of this title, all opinions are my own.

** spoiler alert ** Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and Net Galley for providing the ARC.

This thriller was edgy, dark, and anxiety inducing. I felt like I never knew what was happening. It balanced predictable and unexpected in a way that felt rooted in reality, especially when it comes to fear and how the police oftentimes let victims down.

And this isn’t a huge spoiler but warning: spoiler alert below!!!

The dog lives. So does the cat.

Holy crap five freaking stars!!! This was so good and so suspenseful!!! The secrets and the tension oh my gosh I loved it. The podcast was so cool too never read a book like this. It was very hard for me to figure out who was lying. This was a very thrilling ride and I loved it. Every suspenseful second of it.!!! can’t wait to read more from this author

Poe has a podcast where guests confess what they have done. Her mother was murdered 17 years ago and she saw the killer, who was not caught. A guest says he is the killer but Poe thought the killer was dead. What is the truth?
How far would you go to get a killer? Is everything black and white or is it easy to cross the line? What a ride this story is! From the first page you will be wondering who is the real killer and will Poe survive until the end. Does Poe also have something to hide? What will she do to protect her secrets? This suspenseful thriller will have you on the edge of your seat? I definitely would recommend reading this thriller.

Thank you to #NetGalley, #CarterWilson and #PoisonedPenPress for a copy of this book.
#TellMeWhatYouDid

This book was such a fun, compulsive read! Poe is such a morally gray character but I couldn't help but love her. After Poe witnesses her own mother get murdered , she grows up to host a podcast where she gives people space to confess the deepest, darkest sins. Poe's own dark secrets bubble to the surface when her newest guest says he is the one who killed her mother. Great read for all who like suspense and twists!

If you enjoyed the show Criminal Minds, you'll love this book. I was intrigued by the mystery aspect, but it was a little too dark & violent for me. Definitely an interesting premise though!

This book is unhinged in the best possible way. Carter Wilson took the podcast trope and completely flipped it around, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Our main character, Poe hosts a popular true crime podcast that allows for listeners to come on and confess to various crimes that they have committed. The tables quickly turn however, when a guest on the show begins to stalk Poe and she is forced to confess to her own crimes.

I know it's only January, but I think this might be my favorite thriller of the year. Thankyou NetGalley and Poisoned Pen press for this advance reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
