I like to read books in order when possible but... I particularly admire books that can be read in any sequence.

I think all that I suggested can be read in any order but the characters do seem to have a life (unlike me) and occasionally one feels that they have missed a significant event. Still any which way is fine until you read six or more in a series. By then, I at least, start to take a personal interest in what happened when. I have not read the black cat but can't see why not.
