By: Boris Akunin“Pelagia’s family likeness to Father Brown and Miss Marple is marked, and reading about her supplies a similarly decorous pleasure.”
–The Literary Review
In a remote Russian province in the late nineteenth century, Bishop Mitrofanii must deal with a family crisis. After learning that one of his great aunt’s beloved and rare white bulldogs has been poisoned, the Orthodox bishop knows there is only one detective clever enough to investigate the murder: Sister Pelagia.
The bespectacled, freckled Pelagia is lively, curious, extraordinarily clumsy, and persistent. At the estate in question, she finds a whole host of suspects, any one of whom might have benefited if the old lady (who changes her will at whim) had expired of grief at the pooch’s demise. There’s Pyotr, the matron’s grandson, a nihilist with a grudge who has fallen for the maid; Stepan, the penniless caretaker, who has sacrificed his youth to the care of the estate; Miss Wrigley, a mysterious Englishwoman who has recently been named sole heiress to the fortune; Poggio, an opportunistic and freeloading “artistic” photographer; and, most intriguingly, Naina, the old lady’s granddaughter, a girl so beautiful she could drive any man to do almost anything.
As Pelagia bumbles and intuits her way to the heart of a mystery among people with faith only in greed and desire, she must bear in mind the words of Saint Paul: “Beware of dogs–and beware of evil-doers.”
“Critics on both sides of the Atlantic have praised [Akunin’s] clever plots, vivid characters and wit.”
–Baltimore Sun
“Akunin’s wonderful novels are always intricately webbed and plotted.”
–The Providence Journal

Liquid silk
I am obsessed with this product! I originally bought it when I was in Paris and I loved it. It is the smoothest silkiest texture. A small amount goes along way. I put it on at night as part of my bedtime routine and the changes I have noticed my skin are amazing. I think the price point is good not too expensive and it lasts a long time it hydrates my face super well has a slight scent, but very pleasant. No greasiness.

Accutane holy grail!!
I’ve been on accutane for 2 months and have used this day and night. My skin has not flaked once and has appeared so hydrated despite taking a very drying medication! It’s very lightweight, non-stick, and quickly absorbs into my skin. I don’t usually write reviews but this is worth while for accutane users!

Great product but pricy
I really like this product. It helps with “aged” skin- moisturizing but not oily or heavy feeling. It is pricy though.
