The Skull Mantra - I think the backstory is extremely important, and the way that the first book gives you the feel of the time and place and the people (especially the main character). Warning, it's about 500 pages long, and it's not easy reading - both emotionally, and how densely packed it is with detail. If you make it through the first one, you'll be able to better decide if you want to take on more.
It's honestly become like a project for me to get through the series - I want to mentally stay in Tibet for as long as I can, and just absorb all the things about the culture the author delves into in each book. I really can't compare these books to any other fiction I've read. They are mysteries - but very out of the ordinary mysteries.
