I have found in my travels in reading that when I read one book by a new author and I like that author's writting I will generally like the other books that author has written. However, there is a few exceptions to even that rule, Mercedes Lackey, I seem to like some of her books and not others. As a consequence I tend to read everything ever written by a particular author. I have been told by a pal that writes the previews for a living that the previews are rarely written by the author and are written to make the book seems exciting, therefore I do nto think that you can tell much by the preview for the book. I typically require a free page so I can determine if I like the authors writing. Not something that tends to be a tall order since Amazon and Google books are happy to show me one page for nothing.
