You have to realize, it is a bit of a cult (yeah, I seem to be in it) and the ones since Locked Rooms seem to be flying.
To your readers, definitely don't start here with Mary Russell. You didn't and you still weren't buying in.
The next one up, Pirate King, is a bit of a romp, but not a good place to start, either.
One of my favorites is Justice Hall, if you haven't done that one. It is something of a follow on to Oh Jerusalem, but the story is completely independent - there are some asides that tie in, but they're not important to the story.
