Ok ok ok! I know! Another murder mystery podcast book. But no! This is not anything like the others I’ve read recently. It had such an original twist and I could not wait to see what happened. I was on the edge of my seat. Poe’s story and how it was told was amazing!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat, I don’t think it had a single boring page! This is my first read by Carter Wilson, but won’t be my last!

Poe Webb hosts a popular crime podcast with a twist, she allows people to call in and confess to crimes at their own risk. But a caller with an ulterior motive turns Poe’s world upside down.

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

Tell Me What You Did, by Carter Wilson, is a fantastic thrill ride of a novel. Creepy and twisty and fast paced, I couldn't put it down. Poe was a a great protagonist, very layered and fully drawn. There are many books featuring podcasts, but I felt this one approached it from a different angle making it stand out from the crowd. Highly recommend! (And I bet this book will make a great audiobook!!!)

This is the first book I have read by this author. I wasn't disappointed. I will admit that I struggled in the beginning to stay with it because it had a slow start. Once I got into it, it was a page turner. The book is about a true crime podcaster that has her guest confess their crimes. I will admit that this was an interesting story line, and I enjoyed it very much. I will be recommending this book to others. Thank you NetGalley ARC!

This book was just ok, very slow in the middle and I found myself skimming a lot of the podcast dialogue as I found it very uninteresting when you already knew most of the details. The end picked up a bit, but was still just so so.

Poe tiene un famoso podcast sobre crímenes en el que las personas que han cometido delitos confiesan y narran lo que hicieron, todo a través de videollamadas. Un día, uno de los invitados afirma que él mató a la madre de Poe, pero ella no le cree porque el asesino está muerto… ¿o no? Además, la amenaza diciendo que Poe debe confesar su crimen, o de lo contrario, algo malo sucederá.

Ella deberá descubrir si lo que dice es verdad y, en caso de ser mentira, quién es, cuál es su objetivo y cómo se enteró de lo que hizo.

Me encantó tanto la historia como la forma en cómo está escrito y dividido.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a page turner. Poe Webb is the host of “Tell me what you did”, a popular true crime podcast where guests confess their crimes. At thirteen years old, Poe witnessed her mother’s murder, and when one of her guests confesses to be the murderer, Poe embarks on a deadly cat and mouse game.
I devoured this book. Poe was such an endearing character, strong yet broken, and I really enjoyed her close bond with her dad and her complex relationship with her boyfriend and producer, Kip. This book picked up from the first page and never let up. I look forward to reading more by Carter Wilson.

Wow… this was my first book from Carter Wilson and I can’t wait to read more!

This was absolutely intriguing, fast paced, a heart pounding story that will keep you awake at night.

I loved the characters, and how they developed and how sympathetic they turn to be throughout the story.

Really loved Poe, she is funny and a survivor with a wild mind.

This was perfect for spooky season for the creepiness and the darkness. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much Poisoned Pen Press, NetGalley and Carter Wilson for this ARC.

Terrifying thriller about a popular true crime podcaster with a past. Poe Webb, at 30, is having a moment. Her producer Kip Nguyen is her boyfriend, and things are going well in Manhattan. Her podcast offers people the chance to come onto zoom and confess what they did, from terrible crimes to the sweeter and more simple. It’s a fascinating premise and she gets tens of thousands of downloads per month.

Although she has always told people her mom died in a car accident, Poe actually witnessed her brutal murder at the hands of a serial killer she was having an affair with. Poe was silent for months afterward, and vowed revenge on her mother’s killer. When a guest shows up claiming to be the person that killed her, Poe’s world is upturned.

This is a gruesome story. It is a good mystery but I would co-classify as horror as it is pretty gory, bloody; with jumpscares. It’s the kind of book that makes it hard to fall asleep. The story definitely grabs you at the start and you don’t want to stop reading. In a word-/ creepy. The epilogue is a satisfying conclusion.

Thanks to @netgalley and @poisonedpenpress for the ARC. Book to be released January 14, 2025.

Poe is a true-crime podcaster who invites her guests to confess their crimes to her: Tell Me What You Did.

I'm a real sucker for the podcast angle despite not being a podcast listener. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. A few parts in the beginning were confusing but I still devoured it!

After reading Lisa Jewell's None of This is True, I've really enjoyed thrillers with a podcast element Tell Me What You Did has short chapters, true crime energy, a fearless female character and alternates between present day and podcast transcript. Although there were not many twists since most of the information was provided upfront, there was plenty of tension.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Poe is a true-crime podcaster who invites her guests to confess their crimes to her: Tell Me What You Did. Poe has a secret, though: her own mother was murdered, and she’s been hunting for the killer… or maybe she already took care of him? There’s a few points at the beginning of the book where this is unclear, and while it is eventually resolved I think they could be reworked to prevent confusion. I love the title as well, although part of the way through the book, it switches to “Confess to me,” which, again, I think could be changed to match the title and the first story told in the book.
Overall a fun, if not entirely engaging thriller. Things pick up during the last half, but I didn’t find myself as compelled by the first half. Still, definitely worth finishing and I enjoyed the end and resolve of everything. While they aren’t part of the same series, this book connects to Wilson’s previous work, Mister Tender's Girl.

I loved this. Podcasts within crime books are always my favourite. The concept of Poe's podcast where she invites people on to confess to their crimes was great, especially as her own concept was turned back on her and she has to confess to her crimes to her own audience. I really enjoyed the book, it was suspenseful and creepy and I'm a sucker for a strong female character who's not afraid to get her hands dirty.

I could not put this book down. It hooked me right away and terrified me all the way through! Although Poe was mostly "grey" I found myself rooting her on. The relationship with her dad was heartwarming and how could you not love Bailey?? Grimm cracked me up, thank you for that kitty smile. One of the best thrillers I've read this year.

Thank you netgalley and publishers for an e copy of this Arc. This book kept me guessing with its twists and Omgosh the fast paced thriller that definitely will be a cure if you are in a reading slump. Loved the plot and characters.

Wow this booked was amazing. All the stars for this book.

I loved the whole podcast type style to this novel and I worked really well. I loved listening to the storyline and watching it unfold. This novel is full of twists and turns that you won't see coming, secrets, lies, deceit, and revenge. I loved this one to the very end and cannot recommend this one enough.

I look forward to more books by this author.

✨️ Thanks a lot to @Netgalley , author, and the publisher for the eARC.

This book will have you guessing everything you think you know about the characters, so many twists and turns

Poe Webb has a popular podcast show where she invites guest on and they confess what crime they have done. The show is appropriately named "Tell Me What You Did". One day a guest appears on the show who says he murdered Poe's mother. Your heart breaks for what Poe saw and how it effected her life.

Poe has never told anyone what she saw and knows about that night. She is still traumatized by this and after it happened she didn't speak for three months. Now he wants her to go on live and confess what she has done. She is unsure how he knows what happened in New York. She isn't sure she believes he is who he says he is but she will do everything to protect her family.

Poe is a person you find yourself rooting for in this story.

4.5⭐️

This book is a suspense/thriller but there’s definitely a creepy feeling as you read this.

Poe has a podcast that allows people to confess their dirty little secrets to her which are usually crimes. Only their voice is ever released when the show is ready to be aired. She never does any live event either to protect their identity.

One day, a guest shows up and it shakes her up. He’s saying that he’s the one who murdered her mom all these years ago. He’s also requesting to do a live interview with her and threatens her is she doesn’t. He starts to stalk her and it gives you the jeebies! He’s creepy and clearly a lunatic that wants to make people swarm in their sit and wants all the attention!

There is some twists which one I didn’t see coming! It was fast pace, easy and fun to read. Kept me guessing as I read. It’s a first POV and double time line. One leading to the event and the event itself. And the chapters are short!

Poe is very direct also, her character has some spunk!

This was my first Carter Wilson and I really enjoyed it!

Thank you NetGalley and Carter for the ARC!
