As KJC says: In which we stick it to a duke.
What Band Sinister was to 2018, Any Old Diamonds is to 2019. It’s SO good. An instant favorite. I might have to re-read both to decide which one I like best, and if it’s too close to call, which only means I should read them a third and fourth time, I won’t mind a bit.
(It could be recency bias, but I do think Diamonds wins it. I mean, jewel thieves in love. Come on.)
