If you like Dorothy Sayers, look up Amanda Cross. She started writing mysteries (under that pen name) because she wanted there to be more Peter Wimsey novels.

Many thanks!

I read some of the extended Wimsey mysteries by Jill Paton Walsh. Thrones, Dominations was pretty good, but The Attenbury Emeralds didn't live up to my standards of Wimsey.

describe the book as "Tolkienesque"

For as much as is described as "Tolkienesque", and as much influence as Tolkien had, there are remarkably few books that are actually like Tolkien, or even a fair pastiche.

Tolkien's writing process is certainly uneconomical, and I have doubts that Tolkien's writing would be saleable at all.
