Try them out. In most of them, the mystery does not have to get in the way of what can also be read as a comedy of manners. They are not equally good, which is why we made recommendations. Gaudy night, in particular, can also be read as a thoughtful novel about gender equality in 1930s Oxford university. No one even gets killed in that one! But it is hard to understand without the back story of Strong Poison.
