Poe Webb is an accomplished podcaster who invites her guests to come on her show and confess their darkest secrets. But no one knows that Poe has her own dark secret, until Ian Hindley comes on her show and turns her life upside down by saying that he murdered her mother when she was a teenager, but Poe is pretty sure he's not, because she killed her mother's murderer a decade before that.

Know What You Did was a quick and entertaining read that kept me engaged from start to finish. One of the things I really enjoyed was the back-and-forth structure between the main story and the podcast script. It added a unique layer to the narrative and kept things moving in an interesting way.

I reccomend you give this psychological thriller a shot if you like suspenseful, disturbing, creepy, secretive themes.

Thank you to the publisher and Net galley for the ARC!

I do love a thriller with a podcast angle, so it's easy to understand why I couldn't resist adding Tell Me What You Did straight after reading the blurb. I've been looking forward to read it ever since, and I'm happy to announce that I ended up having an absolute blast reading this intense and darker than expected thriller. This was my first time trying Carter Wilson's writing, and I will definitely be back for more in the future.

This is one of those books where it's best to go in blind to fully appreciate the plot and twists, so I'm going to try and keep this review short... What I can say that if you like a true crime podcast angle in your thrillers, you are in for an absolute treat with this one. Not only is the podcast itself one that I wouldn't mind listening to in real life, but it also plays a crucial role in the plot itself. It is what makes this story stand out for me, and I liked what the interview format added to the plot. It didn't slow down the pace at all; in fact, it only helped me turn those pages even faster.

I don't want to give away to o much, but Poe Webb sure makes for an intriguing main character. She hasn't had an easy life and certain events in her past have most definitely marked her. It makes her decision to create the podcast with this specific topic even more intriguing... I really enjoyed getting to know both her and her secrets better, and some reveals without doubt pack a punch. Her dog Bailey is also very present in the plot, which is always a bonus and helped bring more balance... And especially her father made for a great character as well. Poe is without doubt the star of the show though; well, Poe and the very special 'guest' on her podcast of course.

Tell Me What You Did is without doubt a lot darker than expected and there are plenty moments of danger along the way. The story mainly switches between the present and a very recent past, which worked brilliantly to pump up that suspense as the present timeline is pretty twisted. I simply couldn't put this book down... If you enjoy well written, intense, dark and action-packed thrillers, I can highly recommend Tell Me What You Did! I can't wait to try more of his backlist next.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC.

This was a wild ride and definitely a bit different than a normal thriller. I absolutely loved Poe was a podcast host and that was mixed in. The author note mentioned there would be QR codes with video clips that unfortunately weren't in the ARC. I'm sure that will be a cool addition too.

I can't say much without giving things away but this kept my attention the whole time. The twists weren't too twisty but I liked them all a lot and didn't feel they needed to be.

Know What You Did by Carter Wilson was a quick and entertaining read that kept me engaged from start to finish. One of the things I really enjoyed was the back-and-forth structure between the main story and the podcast script. It added a unique layer to the narrative and kept things moving in an interesting way.

While the story was generally fun and fast-paced, the ending felt a bit predictable. I had a good sense of where it was heading, but it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment. The suspense and the way the story unfolded still kept me hooked, even if the twists weren’t completely unexpected.

Overall, it’s a solid, easy read that offers a good mix of suspense and mystery. If you’re looking for something that’s entertaining without being too heavy, this is definitely a good pick. 4/5 stars!

This thriller was dark and suspenseful, leading me to fly through the short chapters and find out what would happen next.

Poe has a podcast where she allows people confess to the worst things they have done, and she is in for a shock when a man calls in one day and confesses to being the person who murdered her mother years ago. Poe has some of her own secrets surrounding that incident, and the call throws her life into a tailspin.

The format of this was great, with chapters sharing the dialogue of her podcast and regular chapters in between. I'm still not sure how Poe could talk to these terrible people, but found the idea fascinating. Her listeners have their own message boards where they attempt to find the villains, and the crowd sourcing of detective work was an interesting subplot.

Poe herself is a bit of a hot mess, quick to have a drink or two and always making terrible choices. She is definitely that character in a horror movie where you are yelling at the screen to not go in the house, but I suppose that made her pretty entertaining! She has seen despicable things in her life, and some of the podcast narrative gets pretty dark and gruesome.

Fast paced and anxiety producing, this book had me in its clutches as I raced to the creepy end.

Poe Webb (Jesus god, that name) is an accomplished podcaster who invites her guests to come on her show and confess their darkest secrets. But no one knows that Poe has her own dark secret ... until Ian Hindley comes on her show and turns her life upside down by saying HE murdered her mother when she was a teenager (when Poe is pretty damn sure he's not, because she killed her mother's murderer a decade before).

What follows is an *extremely* tense, multiple timeline story that was kind of stressful to read. It's hard to like Poe, exactly, but you root for her because she is strong and capable, and Ian Hindley is so very, very creepy.

If you don't mind a LOT of tension and a bit of gore, this might be right up your street. It was enjoyable, but again, maybe a little too intense for me. Still quite good though!

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I very much enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the characters were well developed. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

Suspenseful, disturbing, creepy, secretive and frankly messed up....all the makings of an engrossing psychological thriller!

Poe Webb is a deeply complex protagonist. Witnessing a traumatic event as a child has left its mark. As an adult, she starts a podcast that encourages others to confess to their crime. It's eerie. Some crimes are minor and others are major, but these crimes do not directly involve her. Until it does. This is a quick read that entices you to keep turning the pages (and checking your surroundings!). Although it is not the same story, I could not quit thinking of Silence of the Lambs. The bad guy gave me Anthony Hopkins vibes.

Although Poe is complex, she was a hard character to figure out. It was like she had two sides to her. One side was the compassionate, loving daughter and girlfriend; the other side was this profanity-throwing, revengeful individual. Somehow this felt off to me.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced copy via NetGalley. I would love to see the final edit. With a few hopeful tweaks, this is going to be one that gives you a fright!

(These opinions are entirely my own.)

Tell Me What You Did" by Carter Wilson is a 5-star suspenseful read! Poe Webb, the host of a true crime podcast called “Tell Me What You Did,” gives criminals the chance to confess their crimes—a fresh and intriguing twist on the typical crime podcast narrative. The story unfolds in two timelines: the present and a live podcast set in the future, where Poe interviews a mysterious guest.

While I wouldn’t classify this book as a traditional thriller with shocking twists and a big reveal, Carter Wilson masterfully builds suspense, compelling readers to keep turning the pages. The writing is sharp, and we’re given a vivid glimpse into Poe’s psyche, allowing us to experience her pain and anguish as the story unfolds.

The novel also raises thought-provoking questions: Is committing a crime always wrong, or are there circumstances that might justify it?

This was a gripping read, and I’m eager to explore more of Carter Wilson’s work!

Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press, Carter Wilson, and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

This was shocking, twisting and kept me gasping for more. I never saw it coming, even when I thought I knew what was happening I was proved wrong.

Poe is the host of a popular true crime podcast where she gets people to call in and confess their crimes anonymously. There is no guarantee that the guests won't be found out by the police but the confession gets them instant fame and notoriety. But then a strange man appears on her show and claims to be her mothers murderer. Poe is shocked, not because of the confession, but for the fact that she already knows who killed her mother—-because she killed him.

Wow— this book was truly thrilling and gave me some major creepy stalker vibes. Suspenseful and carefully crafted with just the right amount of thrill. Don’t read this one before bed! Like a typical thriller, I was screaming at Poe to just go to the police or just check this or that or just leave the house. You didn't know who to trust and was a rollercoaster that left me with bated breath and gripped me with anxiety!

The reveal at the end was satisfying and had you teeter tottering the entire book to determine if she really did kill the correct man.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for sharing this book’s digital advanced review copy with me in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book through a digital ARC from NetGalley
Author: Carter Wilson
Genre: Thriller, Mystery

Wilson drafts a well written book written from the perspective of a podcaster. I feel this is written for a certain audience, which some love.
It is paced well, but gets dark quickly. Once the main character “solves” her case, things process and take a quick turn.

4.5 stars. This is one of those books you just can’t put down! The story was absolutely gripping right from the beginning. I couldn’t really tell where the story was going and that kept my reading experience really interesting. I also found Wilson’s writing style beautiful and easy to follow. The only reason this didn’t receive 5 stars from me was the ending which I found a bit disappointing, but other than that I loved everything about this.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange of an honest review!

Wow oh wow. What did I just read? What a perfect read to start 2025 with.

Tell me what you did by Cater Wilson is one of those books I could not put down. It was one insanely wild ride. Poe Webb runs a true crime podcast "Tell me what you did". She invites guests to come on and you guessed it confess to crimes. One night a man comes on called Hindley confessing he killed Poe's mother. But the man who killed her Mum is dead.. Poe knows this but this Hindley guy. He won't stop. He requests a live podcast and this is when everything becomes a rollercoaster.

This book had so much to love and my oh my it was a cracker. I loved Poe's morally grey character. The short chapters had me turning the pages on my kindle until late in the night. My heart was racing many times in this book and is one I would definitely recommend of if you enjoy a fast pace read with a cat and mouse chase.

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press and Amazon for sending me a gifted copy for my honest book review.

In all honesty it was an engaging story , with a good concept ,however pretty predictable.

I thought it’s gonna give “a good girl’s guide to murder” vibes with the whole podcast thing. It didn’t really , so here are some thoughts :


The fact that Poe wasn’t sure if she had ended the right person and kept questioning herself led me to believe the guys are either twins or brothers.

I didn’t enjoy her responses during the whole podcast with him tbh. She sounded very immature. A response to every question being “fuck off, fuck you” is just childish. Ok , you’re angry we get it but you actually want information from the guy so think before you speak.

Her keeping the murder a secret for obvious reasons and then telling her dad ( ok), her bf ( questionable since the relationship doesn’t seem that strong but ok), a random stranger just because she’d survived trauma( wtf).


And then the ending … she recognised the particular orange from the light? Ok 👌🏼

That’s why overall 3.5 stars 🌟

Tell me What You Did by Carter Wilson

QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️
Poe is a host of a popular true crime podcast that invites people to anonymously confess crimes they’ve committed. But then a straight and oddly familiar man appears on her show, and he’s claiming to be her mother’s killer, except Poe knows … he’s already dead.

FINAL THOUGHTS 💭
What a way to begin the year with this book. I could not put it down. I did nothing with my Sunday but read this book. Although at points the characters made me want to scream I needed to know how it ended and what’s even better is the fact that I enjoyed the ending!
This book comes out at the end of January and it’s one I’d highly recommend for thriller fans !

Someone murdered Poe's mother many years ago. Fewer years ago, Poe killed who she thought was the murderer. So how can the man on her podcast claim to be the murderer? Who is he and what is he up to? I really enjoyed this twist on the newish genre of true crime podcast stories. There were a couple inconsistencies throughout the book, but as I read an advanced copy, I'm assuming they were caught and fixed prior to publication. Thankfully, they did not have a major impact on the storyline, so they were just a bit annoying, not problematic. And, these were totally overshadowed by the wickedly detailed storyline and character development. Nothing in Poe's world is simple and nothing stopped to allow her time to deal with newer problems. I love that reflection of the real world! I also really enjoyed how the whole story came together at the end. This was a well written and thought out story!

Wow! This one was a wild ride! I was on edge 95% of the book! I gasped so many times out loud especially towards the end! The premise of this book was very unique. I’ve read a lot of podcast based thrillers, but this one was like no other. It was so hard figuring out who to trust or how things were connected. This was my second book from this author, but certainly won’t be my last!

4.75⭐️
This was a unique, chilling, suspenseful, high stakes thriller that had me hooked from the very first page and kept me on the edge of my seat. The story centers around Poe, a true crime podcaster, who collects anonymous confessions while at the same time harboring big secrets of her own, blurring the lines between good and evil. If you love edge of your seat thrillers, this is a great one! Will definitely be checking out other tiles by this author. Thank you to Carter Wilson, Poisoned pen press, and NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

This book has me locked in from the first chapter. I mean true crime podcasts in a fast paced thriller! Everything I love in one spot. This definitely has me guessing, and for sure meets all of my requirements for a true physiological thriller. It definitely had messaged. After I was done reading I had to sleep with my light on! It for sure has creepy vibes, and realistic ones. I loved the way this book was laps out. It goes back and south between days leading up to an event ( but does it well, so it’s not confusing). The climax was definitely worth the wait and read. I do wish some r things were explained more. I for sure had unanswered questions after reading. Which honestly isn’t my favorite thing in a book. Like the question I think about still to this day, is how did he get past her security camera. Or why didn’t Poe just call the police immediately, instead of risking her own life? But overall I am happy with this read!
