Yes, it's the first in a series, and I think that probably does help - people have got involved with the characters by the time they have to decide whether or not to spend money on reading more about them.

Having said that, I've heard other writers say it's worked for them even where their second books have been very different from their first ones. Some take a middle way and offer a short story or novella for free.
