I think you're on to something. Exempli gratia: the first Lord Peter I ever read was Have His Carcase. I'm pretty sure the next one was Busman's Honeymoon. This didn't stop me from enjoying Strong Poison and Gaudy Night. In fact I'd have fallen into a decline when Harriet said, "I'll live with you, but I won't marry you," if I hadn't known it would be all right. (Yes. I am a giant dork who doesn't believe that people in books aren't real.)
