The police constable protagonist of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series is half Sierra Leonean and one of his superiors is a married lesbian. His boss is possibly gay and a pretty decent proportion of slash fanfic pairs them up if that’s your thing. One of his coworkers who gets more decelopment as the series goes on is a hijabi Muslim woman.

The books are fun and remind me of what I liked about the Dresden Files books without the overwhelming sexism and obsession with guns. Also, since Peter, the protagonist, works as part of a police department, there’s less of a broody lone wolf quality to the series. And it’s not a laugh a minute, but it can get pretty funny.

Also, I’ve only managed to read the first one, but there’re short graphic novels also written by the author that fit between books in the series, and the one I read was fun.

And I haven’t read them, but apparently Seanan McGuire’s stuff is kind of whacky adventures with a diverse cast as well.
