Do I need to read the Women's Murder Club series in order to understand The 9th Judgment?

While The 9th Judgment is part of the Women's Murder Club series, each book generally features a self-contained mystery. However, the ongoing personal lives and relationships of the main characters develop across the series, so reading earlier books will provide more context for their individual stories.
