The first two I read were Busman's Honeymoon and Clouds of Witness, because that was what the used bookstore had - both the same week I joined the LordPeter YahooGroup (which was not then a YahooGroup or even an eGroup but whatever came before that). The only effect it seems to have had is to have me take the pseudonym Air Pilot Grant on the LP list (and later its spinoff, piffle). I was so new to LP while I knew some people on the list used pseudodyms from the books, I thoght others were people's actual names until I got to e.g. Sylvia Marriott and Marjorie Phelps as characters.
But honestly, I think I'd have eventually read the whole series if I started with Whose Body? but it would have taken much longer and I don't think I'd have been nearly so eager to discuss them. And it was actually life-changing for me; I have friends I met on that list, and it was those friends who introduced me to blogging, way back on Diaryland in early 2001, sine qua non as far as my life onling goes.
