I haven’t read many, and the ones I have were set at the latest in the 90s (Hamish Macbeth).
But I also enjoyed the first in the Armand Gamache series “Still Life” which I think is set in modern day (2005 it was written). But there was no use of DNA or anything.
I guess my question is, for cozy mysteries like the Gamache series, does modern-day tech make an appearance later in the series or is modern policing just ignored for them to be more interesting stories?

I read a modern giallo novel recently which is a similar genre and every character has their phone at all times. But seeing who actually answers a text and when can help you identify the killer, so at least some authors have finally accepted that characters can’t ALWAYS have no signal or a dead battery. Pretty much everyone all the time has a charged phone with a signal now.
