Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams? (kbin.social)

Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I've read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I'd love to know if there's more like them!

The Rivers of London series by Ben Aarronovich; It's a police procedural set in a world where magic is real, and exploited by dangerous criminal groups. The book's protagonist is (initially) a trainee magic-cop in a centuries-old division of the Metropolitan Police.

In this vein I'd also suggest the Laundry Files series by Charles Stross and the Arthur Wallace series by Jonathan Wood are very similar - urban fantasy, secret spy / police occult organizations, British humour
