The Plot Thickens
Thursday, March 5, 2026 5 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
Are you someone who enjoys playing detective? Do you stay up late reading to find out who the killer is? Well, this is a mystery book club just for you. We read a variety of the mystery genre from cozies to psychological suspense . There is a little something for everyone.
This month we will be reading Pony Confidential by Christina Lynch.
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 the only little girl he ever loved, Penny, 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 are the memories 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.
The Plot Thickens meets on the 1st Thursday of the month in the 2nd Floor Workforce Development Classroom at 6pm.
