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.

Critic reviews

“The pony in this mystery is such a delightfully bitter misanthrope.... A kooky page-turner that took me back to every girl-and-her-horse book I ever read, but Misty of Chincoteague was nowhere near as spicy as this pony is!”—NPR

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

“A quirky and boundary-defying mystery unlike anything in the genre …Lynch’s writing flows, her plot is intriguing, and her characters—especially Pony—are sassy and lovable. Horse lovers, mystery lovers, or anyone looking for a delightfully unusual read should check out Christina Lynch’s Pony Confidential.”—Mystery & Suspense Magazine

I want to be more like a pony now

I’ve never read anything quite like this. The author is clearly a horse person, and speaks to the experience of both equines and humans beautifully. It’s a fun, page-turning, delicious read that is delightful and also emotional at times. And although a pony is a main character, it is not juvenile or saccharine. Can’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely loved this book!

Penny and the Pony are the best!! Such a fun adventure. And two incredible vocal performances. Hang in there with it because you'll never guess where it's going. Absolutely a joy ♥️♥️♥️

this book is such a light, breezy, and funny read I wasn’t sure how a book where a pony tries to solve a murder would go, but i loved it! the narrators were SO fantastic. I was grinning like a little kid hearing the different voices and voice modulations. such a fantastic listen!

The narrators killed it (pun intended)!

Loved the pony parts, could do without penny...I just never really got why we needed to have penny, for a very anticlimactic end with her. would prefer just adventures with the pony.

Great for animal/crime fans!

Clever format. Compelling story telling. A masterpiece in anthropomorphism that spoke to me. Couldn’t put it down.

Thoughtful story telling for animal and people lovers… alike.

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!

Creative story, excellent narration

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.

Best story ever
