Average rating3.9
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?

Consider me thrilled—my heart was audibly racing as I ripped through this book.
Filled with true crime energy, <i>Tell Me What You Did</i> takes a unique approach to a classic structure—upon starting this, I was a bit worried that nothing would be super suspenseful or interesting because key information is presented right away. I couldn’t have been more wrong! Even with minimal twisting and turning, Wilson built insane tension that keeps building to the end.
Our main protagonist, Poe, & her father had a genuine dynamic that was realistic and a little tear-jerking in the best way. They are both pleasantly self-aware. <b>What I most enjoyed is that Poe is the epitome of unapologetic (& just) female rage</b>.
A gory-fun read!

Wow, this is one fast-paced and engrossing book, I was hooked within just a few paces and found Poe Webb and her true-crime podcast and real-life gruesome family history engaging - she's no saint by any means but the motivation for her actions rang true, Who among us wouldn't want revenge for our mother's brutal stabbing right in front of us or wrestle with how to rid herself of the demonds of revenge and guilt that tear her up inside? Although there was only one major mystery (and I figured out the answer very early on), it didn't lessen my enjoyment - the writing style is simple and chapters are short (over 100 of them), lending a propulsive feel to the read and I liked the juxtaposition of transcripts from the podcast episodes which lent an up close and personal feeling to the narrative. I'm predicting this one will gain a lot of new fans for Carter Wilson.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review
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.
I received an arc from Netgalley.
