In recent years, most contemporary fiction I read consists of crime novels.
There are a few series where I read every one that comes out (Archer Mayor's is top of the list). I will continue to read every one, regardless of COVID, and hope he lives long enough, in good health, for there to be a lot more.
As for whether there is a relationship between crime and COVID, that may be another topic not meant for here. But it is hard for me to see realistic crime novels, set in the early 2020's, not considering that possibility, even if to dismiss it. And I like realism.
P.S. I highly recommend this nonfiction COVID book:
The Desperate Hours: One Hospital's Fight to Save a City on the Pandemic's Front Lines
