Discover New and Notable Books Publishing This Week Hello Readers,
This week we have 20 books on our shortlist, including a unique mystery from Christina Lynch.
Pony Confidential tells the story of a pony saving the only human he's ever loved after discovering she's being accused of a murder she didn't commit. Publisher's Weekly writes, "Lynch takes the ludicrous premise surprisingly seriously, giving weight and complexity to Pony's feelings without teetering into absurdity. Toss in a memorable supporting cast and a healthy dash of humor, and Lynch has a potential series on her hands. Cozy fans looking for something out of the ordinary should saddle up."
You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section. For more soon to publish books including paperbacks, check out BookBrowse's "What's New" section. Members can get a head start on books publishing in 2025 with our new view books publishing by year.
