—Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Paris Widow

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.

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Dead Girl in 2A and The New Neighbor comes a chilling new thriller that forces the question: are murderers always the bad guys?

Advance Praise

“I’m a sucker for a revenge thriller, and Carter Wilson’s latest, Tell Me What You Did, takes things up a notch by centering the plot around a true crime podcast.

The perfect book for readers who love their thrillers gripping and utterly original.”
—Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Paris Widow

“Expert pacing, a complex and flawed protagonist...Genius.”
—Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of Only One Survives

“Carter Wilson’s latest has a dash of Thomas Harris and a generous heaping of Stieg Larsson—but really, Tell Me What You Did is completely its own thing. Propulsive, shocking, and exquisitely crafted, Wilson’s fantastic thriller features an unforgettable heroine and a harrowing truth: We can never escape our past.”
— Abbott Kahler, New York Times bestselling author of Eden Undone and Where You End

"Instantly gripping, Tell Me What You Did drove me to sleepless nights as I devoured the tense storyline. Wilson's podcasting protagonist notches with my favorite heroines, uniquely flawed and as complex as they come, while the twists and turns of his prose made each chapter fly by. Grab this thriller for a fast weekend read."
—Elle Marr, Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Alone Time and Your Dark Secrets
