I have this one on hold with Libby. I can’t wait to start
I plan to read it as soon as I complete the one I'm reading and get its review written. Hopefully, I'll get started on it tomorrow.
I will start soon, sadly behind quite a bit.
Here is my 4.03 rounded to 4 stars review of Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Psychological Thriller
True-crime podcast format for part of the book
Short Chapters, High-stakes interrogation
Suspenseful, Gripping, and High-octane
Morally grey protagonist
Innovative and immersive
Intense. My heart is still pounding! THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.I read over half in the first sitting than finished the rest over a very lengthy breakfast. I COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN! So, if you're planning on reading Tell Me What You Did, and I sincerely hope you are, clear your decks because you are not going to want to do anything else after you start.
There was nothing I didn't love about Tell Me What You Did. I loved that we got to reconnect with Alice from Mr Slender's Girl. But don't worry if you haven't read that particular book - there's nothing you need to know from it that isn't explained here. But please do go back and read it because it's simply one of the best reads ever.
I love that Poe gets the tables turned on her. Instead of being the one asking the sticky questions, she's the one having to answer them.
I loved Poe's character, but wouldn't want to be her. She's edgy, always on guard and throws up a shield to stop anyone getting even remotely close to her. Except for Kip. And even him she keeps at a distance. She lives a purposely isolated life for the same reason. She fears being vulnerable. She is adept at lying. She even lies to her dog, Bailey. I love Bailey.
And Kip was right. Ian Hindley is creepy. He knows things. Things that he shouldn't know. Things that no one should know. Things that only the man who killed Poe's mother Margaret should know. Just who is he?
Beyond this, you don't need to know anything. Buckle yourself in and go into this read blind. Lock the doors and leave the lights on.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just finished the book today and loved it. Very intense, particularly the last 20% which I read in one go at lunchtime. my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I liked the idea for Poe's type of true crime podcast where guests can come on and anonymously confess to their crimes - quite different to the more regular type of crime podcast where the podcasters are trying to piece together an investigation to uncover a suspect.
I also enjoyed the fact that Carter was able to turn the tables on Poe and make her confess to her own crime on her own podcast which somehow made us more sympathetic towards her with regards to what she did all those years ago.
Hey readers! I'm here for the discussion but not sure if the discussion thread is live yet...
Welcome, Carter! We're exited to have you join us. This thread was for the discussion on your book. The Q&A session is in this thread.
A few questions have been asked there already.
One advantage of keeping the Q&A thread open is that readers in other time zones can still follow the author’s answers even when they miss the live window. The exchange about discovering characters without an outline was especially useful.
Vera, even if a thread is closed, readers can still see what's been posted to the thread; they just can't add comments. We usually close the threads on the second day of each month for the prior month's BOTMs and Q&A threads.
This thread is for pre-discussions of the book (and other books you've read by the author). Q&A with Carter will occur on July 30th. Place your questions

This psychological thriller features true-crime podcaster Poe Webb who invites anonymous confessions of crimes. She can’t guarantee the police won’t come after her “guests,” but her show grants simultaneous anonymity and instant fame.
