Book 10 for 2023.

Garry Disher creates a one-police officer small Australian town, with an unexpectedly large murder rate. Hirsch is one of my favourite detectives.
Day's End is very clearly set during covid, with masks, vaccinations, and sovereign citizens occupying people's minds, along with cyberbullying and meth users.

I have read several of Disher's novels, I highly recommend the Bitter Wash Road series.
