You could certainly read it as a standalone book. There is on-going character development throughout the series - eg, this book open with Alleyn on a cruise ship in the Pacific, returning from New Zealand, where he was in the previous book in the series - but it's nothing that will spoil your enjoyment of the book. You don't need to know WHY Alleyn is on the ship at the start of this book.
