Most detective/cop/lawyer/secret agent figures out the crime/evil plan series don't really have a hard ordering. Even when there was some joining story, you often didn't need to know that Joe Cop is now married to (instead of dating) Jane Lawyer.

I'm not saying that reading out of order is better, but there's few problems with most series if you miss a book or get a couple out of order.
I've read enough detective/cop/lawyer/secret agent where they do talk of previous cases in previous books. So that would be a spoiler for sure.
