Carter Wilson's Tell Me What You Did is a well-written book that expertly explores the darker sides of human nature and the blurred lines between good and evil.
 
As Poe Webb, the host of a popular true crime podcast called 'Tell Me What You Did', invites guests on to anonymously confess their deepest darkest crimes.

Only Poe can't guarantee that the police won't come after them. But what she can guarantee is her guests anonymity and instant fame. Which is a powerful combination that is hard to resist.

However, Poe is easily able to forget each guest and any crime confessed.

That is, until Ian Hindley appears on the show, claiming to have killed the person responsible for Poe's mother's death. Only Poe believes that's a lie because she committed the crime herself.

But Ian's confessions don't end there. As Poe is left on the air and in a perilous game of cat and mouse. 

And with complex characters, and a disturbing yet catchy, fast-paced storyline. This was an impressively shocking psychological thriller. That I'd happily recommend to others.
