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.

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.

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.

Thanks to Poisoned Pen for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to Poisoned Penn Press & NetGalley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.
