About this listen

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 who 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.

Critic reviews

“Clever, funny, and full of sugar cubes.”—People

“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

Cute Story

I especially liked the fact that the author was an equestrian. Descriptions of the horses in the story were accurate. This was well written and the story was enjoyable. The reader will require a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief, but the story is still rewarding.

Creative story, excellent narration

Very fun and creative story with excellent narration! I enjoyed all the different animal voices and perspectives, and the Odyssey-like journey of the pony trying to get home to Ithaca. I squirmed in following Penny’s story through the justice system. Highly recommended!

Best story ever

Loved it . My daughter who is 10 and I had the best time together, listening to the story back-and-forth on our way to her school for a week or two.

Spend Some Time with Pony!

What a true delight this book was! Both readers were fantastic, though I must say I truly loved all the voices Blair Young gave to all oof the animals. This story will make you laugh and cry and feel all the feels. An "Odyssey" across the country and into the self. Kudos to Christina Lynch. It was so wonderful to spend time in the worlds of Pony and Penny!

Loved it!

I cancelled my plans for the day when I had four hours left in the book. It was funny, exciting, touching, and left me with a teary eye at the end. Absolutely loved it!

I think my horse secretly wrote this.

Must read for equestrians who love their sassy ponies. The animal characters were perfect, and we’ve all met versions of many of the humans pony encounters. My Favorite Equestrians, you know who you are, and you’ll love it. Murder…ponies..perfect.

A sweet fable

A sweet story, it grew on me as it progressed. Took my mind off of politics and was light as a macaroon

Hilarious!

I laughed out loud at the pony! Very original piece of work that also weaves in some important lessons about how we treat each other and the animals around us. Oh and it's a mystery as well. Great package!

If you loved Marcellus from Remarkably Bright Creatures, you'll love Pony and his friends!

Delightful and imaginative escapism. Animal lovers will enjoy the perspectives of Pony and his friends. Narration was excellent!
