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!

Many thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book.

This book was just...ok. It did keep me reading so that is a good thing, but it did take me a while to get through it. It did keep my interest enough that I would read more books by this author.

I enjoy podcasts and have been getting into thrillers that incorporate them. This book was entertaining, although it dragged in some parts. Overall, I thought it was good. I haven't read any other books by this author, but it seems from the reviews that some characters do cross over into other books. However, they don’t need to be read in any specific order..

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! This was a super unique style for a thriller following a podcast which I enjoyed, and an interesting plot. However, I didn’t feel the level of excitement and suspense as a page turner that other thrillers of this nature evoke.

I really liked this book. It started off kind of slow but then once it started to pick up I couldn't put it down.

Tell Me What you Did is a nail biting read that will have you holding your breath and hoping for the best outcome possible.

The pace is perfect , the story is harrowing and the characters are all flawed (love it) except the dog Bailey.

Phoebe (Poe) is a true crime podcaster with a twist: she gets her guests to confess to a crime.

The tables are turning on Poe as she has the biggest secret of all.

That's all I can say without giving the plot away but I will tell you that you will be looking over your shoulder, making sure the doors are locked and the lights are on.

You simply cant go wrong with a Carter Wilson thriller.

I highly recommend you get your copy and prepare yourself for a creepy but oh so good read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the privilege of reading and reviewing Tell Me What You Did.

4.5* I loved this revenge-style thriller from a new-to-me author! The chapters were short, easy to devour, and kept me on the edge of my seat; on my flight home from Europe, I literally couldn’t put it down. The dual timeline and the podcast storytelling vehicle worked together perfectly and it all played out in my mind like a vivid movie (which it totally should be). It’s dark with a couple moments descriptive graphic gore but if you love true crime fiction, this one is a must!

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to review this ARC.

It was engaging through and through. After reading quite a lot of thrillers, almost all plotline seems repeated but this held my attention throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was thoroughly creeped out by this thriller! There wasn't a crazy unexpected twist or anything at the end, but the author did a fabulous job at making this a very unsettling experience. It was very readable and I finished it really quickly. Hard to put down.

Poe Webb—a renowned true crime podcaster—is stunned when she realizes her latest guest is the man who murdered her mother. This revelation sets off a tense, brilliantly layered thriller that kept me captivated from start to finish.

This novel easily ranks among my top three thrillers of the year. The unique structure, interweaving real-time podcast excerpts with Poe’s harrowing journey, brings a fresh and dynamic pace to the story. The podcast format adds an engaging twist, making this one of the best takes on the theme I’ve encountered. The tension is masterfully built, and the final act is particularly gripping, filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Poe is a compelling protagonist—a determined and relatable vigilante, though some of her choices invite reflection. The supporting characters, particularly Kip and Poe's father, are well-developed, enriching the narrative and adding emotional depth.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well-crafted thriller. It's an intense, unforgettable read that delivers both suspense and originality.

Poe Webb is the host of a true crime podcast during which her guests confess to any crimes they’ve committed. The confessor can admit to their name or use a fake name. Poe has a specific way in which she conducts the podcasts - she gives them 15 uninterrupted minutes to say whatever they feel the need to. She doesn’t guarantee her guests that the authorities will not find them. Things take a turn when one of her guests turns the tables on her and admits to her that he killed her mother. However, Poe is instantly on guard because she believes the man who killed her mother is already dead - she claims to have killed him herself. He makes demands of her that she is tempted to ignore. But can she afford to? Her future depends on it. From the amount of details given, you expect to know what’s going to happen instantly in this book. But, the author masterfully weaves a tale and keeps the reader guessing as to what will happen next. What will Poe do with the confession of her guest? What will happen when the truth comes out? This was a fascinating story given the true crime genre popularity in recent times. It was believable and extremely detailed. It’s hard to put this one down. You just want to keep reading further to find out what happens. I gave this book only 4 stars because I felt the ending needed a bit more depth - it left me wanting a bit more.

I loved this book and could not put it down! Great story about a podcast host who becomes the interviewee. Easy to follow with lots of twists and turns I didn’t see coming.

I received this book as a ARC from NetGalley

The story of Poe was very fascinating. I was eager to find out the outcome. A true page turner that pulls you in and has you reading until the book is finished
