September 2025 Standalone BOTM - Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson

[Jamie]

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?

**This BOTM thread will be open until October 5th @ Midnight (in your time zone)**

Just got this from Hoopla. I was hoping for the audio with the podcast aspect but hopefully it reads well

Ch.1-13 how can so much happen and yet nothing has really happened but we are 13 chapters. Maybe I’m just used to these long a** chapters from fantasy books haha

I started this today, since I saw the audiobook was available. Have to say it's been phenomenal so far. Loved the Cuckoo's Nest reference. Going to continue here from part 3.

CH 53 - 66(view spoiler)[
Hindley constantly feels to be one step ahead of Poe. Im starting to have a love/hate relationship with our FMC. I mean the man is using ant killer to poison your pet... he means business and he is done with you stalling. Absolutely love the level of paranoia, which is what Hindley wants, Poe is starting to experience. The game of cat and mouse continues. (hide spoiler)]

CH 66 - 75 (view spoiler)[
Feel as if we have gone full circle. Her dad admitting that he wanted to kill Hindley when he hits his car. He went from the utter anger and disappointment when she confessed her killing in New York to fully accepting it now. (hide spoiler)]

CH 76 - Finished (view spoiler)[
Honestly very conflicted. She didn't need to kill him. Im unsure if this is just the authors way of showing how they are two in the same? Overall I enjoyed the audiobook. I do not think I would have gotten through it otherwise. The writing style isn't the best even with very short chapters. (hide spoiler)]

Ch.14-27, end of part 1 (view spoiler)[ I’m curious how his dad takes the news but I’m glad she also reached out to Kip. It also make me wonder who the “he” is in the alternating 10/31 chapters. I’m enjoying the dual timeline (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
