Will finish it tonight. Main character is very likable and makes me want to learn more about Buddhism. Are any of the characters recurring in coming books?

I noticed on the cover of Vulture Peak the comments said that it was a humorous book - was it? This one wasn't but had some light touches....

You really have to read Colin Cotterell's books about Laos. So much of Burdett's writing meshes so well with them....
