All was trying to do was to point out that SOME readers are okay with reading out-of-order mystery books as long as the mystery in that book was stand-alone (I meant this as opposed to a story arc over multiple books). I am sorry if I was unclear or if this came across as an attempt to proselytize but that was NOT my intent.

Maybe stating that the mystery in a particular book is "self-contained" would be better terminology than to say that the mystery is a "standalone".
You may use me as an example. I love mysteries. Characters are very secondary.
