Jon, I think everyone's aware that some choices aren't first in a series; the number is prominently displayed in the title. People have different opinions on that and will incorporate that information into their decision-making process.
Of the two, I think Aaronovitch is more problematic. I accept Charlie's word that Stabenow is a standalone (again, people make up their own minds about how they feel about that), but my sense is that the Aaronovitch very much isn't a standalone, which would make it a much harder read for someone who mightn't have read it when the club did.
