An NPR ""Book of the Day""

In this one-of-a-kind mystery with heart and humor, a hilariously grumpy pony must save the only human he's ever loved after discovering she stands accused of a murder he knows she didn't commit.

Pony has been passed from owner to owner for longer than he can remember. Fed up, he busts out and goes on a cross-country mission to reunite with Penny, the little girl whom he was separated from and hasn't seen in years.

Penny, now an adult, is living an ordinary life when she gets a knock on her door and finds herself in handcuffs, accused of murder and whisked back to the place she grew up. Her only comfort when the past comes back to haunt her is the memory of her precious, rebellious pony.

Hearing of Penny's fate, Pony knows that Penny is no murderer. So, as smart and devious as he is cute, the pony must use his hard-won knowledge of human weakness and cruelty to try to clear Penny's name and find the real killer.

This acutely observant, feel-good mystery reveals the humanity of animals and beastliness of humans in a rollicking escapade of epic proportions.

Reviews for Pony Confidential

Praise for Pony Confidential “Christina Lynch has crafted something original and artful with more than a little bit of magic. Pony Confidential is fresh and crisp, with an unexpected, peppery bite. You will be rooting for Pony every step of the way!” —Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age “Warm-hearted and charmingly clever, I instantly fell in love with Pony Confidential. It has it all - a pony with an acerbic wit and surprisingly poignant views on life, a woman with a past she’s still trying to make sense of, and a compelling and unexpected mystery pulling everything together. This book was fun, funny, and unlike anything I’ve ever read before.” —Kristen Perrin, nationally bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder “Pony Confidential is part murder mystery, part ode to friendship, and 100% heart-warming. This is sure to be one of the funniest and most uniquely charming books you’ll read this year.” —Freya Sampson, USA Today bestselling author of Nosy Neighbors “Pony Confidential is laugh-out-loud funny in places, heart-tugging emotional in others. Christina Lynch has written a book that turns the mystery genre on its head—in a very good way. Trust me. Read it!” —Sofie Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of the Magical Cat Mysteries “An absurdist Black Beauty that asks if childhood fantasies can save us from adult realities. Guaranteed to gallop away with your heart.” —Eliza Jane Brazier, author of Girls and Their Horses ""Lynch’s story of an odyssey is one of love and determination. Pony devotes his life to finding Penny in an account that will be appreciated by horse lovers."" —Library Journal (starred review) “Ever wished for “Black Beauty, Private Eye”? Wish no longer.” —Kirkus Reviews ""Cozy fans looking for something out of the ordinary should saddle up."" —Publishers Weekly “Great fun for animal lovers and mystery lovers alike!” —Laurie Cass, bestselling author of the Bookmobile Cat mystery series
