This series is not a set of deep meaningful books, but loads of fun reading, with tongue-in-cheek mocking of established social norms. Each one can be read as an individual novel, but better understanding of the character development and some small references to previous plots is available, if you read them in chronological (not published) order. This novel is #8 in a series of 10 (or 11 if you include a short story in the listing).
