Anarchy and Old Dogs

Next up on the world book tour:  Anarchy and Old Dogs, by Colin Cotterill. 

4th book in the series, and by now I am a little embarrassed that I've read them all.  It started out innocently enough--a compelling little story about a elderly communist doctor in 1970s Laos becomes the only State coroner, and then discovers he is also actually temporary housing for a thousand year old shaman spirit.  So the dead show him their fates, which greatly improves his chances of solving their murders.  A cross of Ghost Whisperer and Quincy, ME.  

Now after 4 books, the author is coasting, and although I'll recommend the first 2, I'm too let down to hat tip the rest.
