This fall, saddle up for an epic whodunnit with horsepower!
Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club meets The Art of Racing in the Rain in a mash-up of feel-good mystery and a tear-jerking journey for friendship, love, and belonging—all narrated by one very cranky pony.
A hilariously epic equine mystery starring a snarky yet endearing pony (aptly named Pony) who is determined to acquit the only human he’s ever loved of a crime she didn’t commit.
Perfect for readers of Lessons in Chemistry and Remarkably Bright Creatures, Lynch’s Berkley debut is a one-of-a-kind tale of epic proportions with an animal narrator, as Pony travels far and wide on a selfless quest to save his person from peril.
ABOUT PONY CONFIDENTIAL:
Pony has been passed from owner to owner over the course of his life—he’s put out to pasture when the children outgrow pony-riding, bought and sold like an object.
The years have left him jaded, and, fed up with the way he’s been treated, Pony decides to bust out of the barn. He sets out to find Penny—his original owner, and the one person who ever held Pony’s heart.
But when Pony finds Penny and learns she’s an adult who is now standing trial for murder, he commits to stirrup some trouble—he must find the true killer and clear Penny’s name once and for all. What follows is an epic filled with both snark and heart.
It’s only murders in the barn from here—and Pony must make hay if he is going to bring the true killer to justice.
Lynch shines light on how people often treat animals as disposable goods despite their innocence, devotion, and loyalty to us.
Her story poignantly upends this dynamic, revealing the humanity of animals and the beastliness of humans time and time again.
A former editor of Harvard Lampoon, Lynch is no stranger to humor.
Her bold, unique novel hilariously brings to life a pony with attitude. PONY CONFIDENTIAL begs the question—if our pets could talk, what would they say about the ways in which we treat them? And the ways we treat each other?
Fresh, original, and full of humor, PONY CONFIDENTIAL is a must read—the "mane event" this fall, you might say!
