In the case of mystery series such as the Harry Bosch series mentioned upthread, I could see that one person might want to read the series in order, seeing the character age and evolve over time However, another person might just enjoy reading about a policeman solving a mystery and as long as the mystery in each book stands alone, such a reader might not care about the character's personal life.

The problem is when someone says sure, you can read a book in the middle of the series because it's standalone. It's not and it means it can be a spoiler for the series. Yes it's OK to read a series however you want, but to say a book in a series is standalone is not correct and not everyone would question that.
