NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - WINNER OF THE AGATHA AWARD FOR BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR BY THE SEATTLE TIMES

Laurie R. King's novels of suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, are critically acclaimed and beloved by readers for the author's adept interplay of history and adventure. Now the intrepid duo is finally trying to take a little time for themselves--only to be swept up in a baffling case that will lead them from the idyllic panoramas of Japan to the depths of Oxford's most revered institution.

After a lengthy case that had the couple traipsing all over India, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are on their way to California to deal with some family business that Russell has been neglecting for far too long. Along the way, they plan to break up the long voyage with a sojourn in southern Japan. The cruising steamer Thomas Carlyle is leaving Bombay, bound for Kobe. Though they're not the vacationing types, Russell is looking forward to a change of focus--not to mention a chance to travel to a location Holmes has not visited before. The idea of the pair being on equal footing is enticing to a woman who often must race to catch up with her older, highly skilled husband.

Aboard the ship, intrigue stirs almost immediately. Holmes recognizes the famous clubman the Earl of Darley, whom he suspects of being an occasional blackmailer: not an unlikely career choice for a man richer in social connections than in pounds sterling. And then there's the lithe, surprisingly fluent young Japanese woman who befriends Russell and quotes haiku. She agrees to tutor the couple in Japanese language and customs, but Russell can't shake the feeling that Haruki Sato is not who she claims to be.

Once in Japan, Russell's suspicions are confirmed in a most surprising way. From the glorious city of Tokyo to the cavernous library at Oxford, Russell and Holmes race to solve a mystery involving international extortion, espionage, and the shocking secrets that, if revealed, could spark revolution--and topple an empire.

So happy with this product!
It is tasteless so I’m more likely to use it often. I have noticed a difference with more strength and less pain when doing manual labor soi know it’s effective. With all the shoveling and carrying wood in all the time for the stone, I really needed this! Plus I trust this company for quality products and whenever I need something high quality, I choose them

It needs a scoop otherwise love it.
Got this for my malabsorption that causes brain fatigue and fog. It's working great, too. The lid is a bit odd to open but seals well. My only issue is that it has no scoop. My measuring spoons now have to stay out with the creatine, so I get the proper dosage. If dosage isn't an issue for you, then great. otherwise you need to get another set of measuring spoons.

Great product
I'm not a body builder, at 76 years old I was having muscle aches, and this helps. I take it daily at one teaspoon in my morning coffee.

Highest quality ingredients & secure delivery
Excited to see Pure offer a creatine formula as I already use other products from this highly rated brand. The powder is excellent quality and mixes well. I added it to my protein shake and there was no impact to taste. It digests easily & I experienced zero negative side effects. The paper canister is a unique, sustainable package. While this may be better than plastic, I had a concern it might get damaged in transit. I was encouraged to see it delivered in a firm cardboard box that was securely protected. The container seals well & is an innovative upgrade from normal bottles. This is an excellent addition to my routine. Looking forward to seeing the benefits in the coming weeks!

New packaging for PURE product
I am hoping this creatinine is as good as other Pure products. This creatinine came in a cardboard container instead of plastic. I appreciate the effort to remove plastic from the food stream, but the lid tip did not work so well. It was hard to open the top, but once that was done, the “inner lid” was easy to open, you just don’t want to drop this because it’s l8kely to spill open. The lid is not really secure.
