You have my answer already, and Gorman a big yes as well.
Publishers like series because each book in one sells the
others...
For Muller, I'd recommend TROPHIES AND DEAD THINGS as a good
place to start among her McCone novels.
For Pronzini, as good as the Nameless Detective stories I've
read have been, I'd start with his short story collections
(as opposed to the good to superb anthos he's edited...in
horror, sf, and westerns as well as cf, and probably beyond).
Pronzini's "Strangers in the Fog" remains one of the best
suspense stories I've read. DOUBLE, by the eventually married
couple of Muller and Pronzini, is a decent stunt, one they've
replicated with other characters of theirs.
For Gorman--well, the recent historical mysteries are a good
place to start... TM

Oh yeah, also, I mentioned the anthologies--obviously Gorman
and Pronzini (and Muller?) know good stuff. I like some of
their short stories, but I've never read any of their novels.
Should I?
