Tell Me What You Did: A Novel

By Carter Wilson

ADD TO MY SHELVES

Recommend book

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?

EXCELLENT. I enjoyed the back and forth of the time lines, and the little clues dropped here and there that keep you guessing until the end. Would read again and recommend!

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.

I enjoyed this as it kept me coming back and wanting to know what was going to happen. The main character is morally gray, so you both empathize and condemn. The ending was somewhat predictable I'm afraid but the story was compelling enough.

A little slow in the first few chapters, but gets interesting.
