Just my opinion, of course:
SOME BURIED CAESAR TOO MANY COOKS THE DOORBELL RANG THE BLACK
MOUNTAIN PLOT IT YOURSELF
Although frankly you could start just about anywhere.
(The only really weak book in the series, in my opinion, is
the first, FER DER LANCE, which is far more of a traditional
mystery than anything which followed.) Stout was a
marvelously consistent writer.
