The Deputy Allred & Apache Officer Victor series by Virgil Alexander opens with The Wham Curse in 2012 and runs six books through 2023. The early titles — The Wham Curse, Saints & Sinners, and the Baleful Owl — came out across 2012 to 2015, before a three-year gap leading to Murder in Copper in 2018.
The series continued with Broken Earth (2021) and closed with Saints and Sinners in 2023. This is a mystery series with named recurring characters, so reading from The Wham Curse in order will give the best experience as the cast and setting develop across the six books.
