Tell Me What You Did: A Novel

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?

I have so many thoughts about this book! My book club, East Bay Thriller Queens, picked it as our March read, and I was instantly hyped when saw it was Barnes & Noble's Mystery & Thriller Pick for February. The back cover had me hooked, and the premise? A podcast where people call in to confess their crimes? Absolutely chilling-in the best way. ended up flying through this book way faster than expected. Yes, it's over 400 pages and has exactly 100 chapters (which is wild!), but don't let that scare you off. Carter Wilson's writing is super clean and to the point, which made this an easy, fast-paced read. I've already been recommending this one to anyone wholl listen. It's packed with symbolism, sharp foreshadowing, and a twist that made me sit back and think, how did I miss that?! It was right there all along, and that's what loved most-when a thriller makes you question everything in the best way.

Centered on a true crime podcast, this story takes a sharp turn when the interviewer becomes the interviewee. It’s an edge-of-your-seat thriller with short, punchy chapters. Easy to read (or listen to) and packed with nonstop action. Book #52 in 2025
