As for Aaronovitch, I personally would be opposed to reading any series in sequence in the book club; I'd recommend starting a thread like the Jim Butcher thread for such discussions. It would be a long two months without a change for someone who didn't like a series and there are a lot of different books out there. But ultimately the voters/discussers get to decide.
I'm not fine with the Stabenow book being called standalone because it's not. Call it self-contained if it is. But standalone is 100% wrong. None of the series books I've read are standalone except for the first book.

I would not mind reading the first two books in a series.
