Librarian here. I love doing readers advisory. The Dave Robicheaux novels by James Lee Burke. The Joe Pickett novels by CJ Box. Cork O’Connor novels by William Kent Krueger. Can’t speak for their personal politics but I think the Box novels tend to lean more conservative and the others more liberal/social issues. Hope this helps.
