In this gripping thriller, Poe hosts a popular podcast called "Tell Me What You Did" with her boyfriend, Kipp, who handles production. Their show takes a dark turn when a guest, Ian Hindley, confesses to killing Poe's mother. However, the truth is more twisted: Poe's mother was actually murdered by a man named Leopold, whom Poe later killed in a quest for vengeance. Having witnessed her mother's murder, Poe kept this traumatic secret for 17 years, only revealing it to her father after Ian's shocking revelation on her podcast. The central question remains: Did Poe kill the right person?

Wow, this is one fast-paced and engrossing book, I was hooked within just a few paces and found Poe Webb and her true-crime podcast and real-life gruesome family history engaging - she's no saint by any means but the motivation for her actions rang true, Who among us wouldn't want revenge for our mother's brutal stabbing right in front of us or wrestle with how to rid herself of the demonds of revenge and guilt that tear her up inside? Although there was only one major mystery (and I figured out the answer very early on), it didn't lessen my enjoyment - the writing style is simple and chapters are short (over 100 of them), lending a propulsive feel to the read and I liked the juxtaposition of transcripts from the podcast episodes which lent an up close and personal feeling to the narrative. I'm predicting this one will gain a lot of new fans for Carter Wilson.

Started this book and finished in one day! Yes, it's one of those books that you pick up and start reading, and before you know it your done. It's that good!! Poe does a pod cast and interviews her mothers killer or is he? So good ! 100% would recommend!!

Whoa. This was such an addictive read!

Y’all know I love a podcast and this is one with a twist. Poe is the host of a highly rated true crime podcast that gives space for people to confess their crimes under the guise of anonymity. Things take a dark turn when she herself becomes the subject of her own podcast.

I was hooked from the very beginning. This story is told by our main character with almost every other chapter serving as a transcript from the podcast. This was done so incredibly well!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 If anonymity was the name of the game (or premise of a podcast), what secret would you publicly confess? Carter Wilson takes the reader on a wild ride when podcast Poe Webb is forced to face her own deep dark secret about her mothers death. Tell Me What You Did is a gripping, fast-paced book with the right amount of unease and morally gray characters. The format changes from different timelines and includes podcast transcriptions, creating an immersive and fascinating storyline. The only certainty the reader can trust is the need to keep turning to pages until the very end!

Review is on Goodreads and will be posted on instagram closer to publication date and on Amazon when published!

Carter Wilson seems to just keep getting better and better, because somehow every book of his is my new favorite. Tell Me What You Did is an absolutely gripping thriller that hooks you right away and doesn't let go until the end. There is so much tension and suspense from the beginning all the way through the heart pounding climax. Poe was a fantastic main character. I loved how morally gray she was, and I also loved her awesome dad and the relationship they had. Oh, and her dog of course! This book is over 400 pages, but it flew by thanks to the lightning-fast pace, short chapters and transcripts from the podcast. When I received my approval email, I decided I would go ahead and start reading and the next thing I knew I was at 40% already. I would have read it one sitting if I had had the time! For me, this was the rare book that isn't just good but reminds me why I fell in love with reading in the first place. I already can't wait to read what Mr. Wilson writes next, but in the meantime, I picked up Mister Tender's Girl and The Dead Husband and I'm looking forward to reading them! Highly, highly recommended!

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!

Well that was a fun read and from the synopsis I gathered it would be , I am feeling very satisfied at the moment !!

If you’re a fan of True Crime Podcasts then you’ll love this fiction story that is centred around our morally grey FMC Poe who is peppered with her flaws.

“ What I saw that day is a secret I’ve carried for seventeen years. And I have a strong suspicion it’s a secret the whole world will soon know “

Can you spot a lie ??

Poe Webb has a very popular true crime podcast which is different from your average podcasts. She interviews people and gets them to confess their crimes to her and based on their testimonies she deciphers if they are telling the truth or not .

We are taken on a wild turn of events when a peculiar guest she is interviewing gives Poe the creeps and she instantly knows that things are going to get ugly for her because this man claims he murdered her mother years ago , but Poe has a secret about that tragic day that no one else knows ! 👀

I really liked this book , I loved the format of the Podcast between Poe and Ian and found the story went so quickly, in fact before I knew it the book was over .So if you’re looking for something thats a bit different and definitely gripping 🧐 then be sure to add this one to your TBR!

Although I had my suspicions about a few things, the ending had a small twist I didn’t expect which was just the icing on the cake !!

Thank you NetGalley , Poisoned Pen Press and Carter Wilson for this fun ARC!

Respectfully Another Read by Angie
