I want to read at least one Dorothy book and i found this is the most acclaimed one. Will i feel any continuity issues as i have no idea about the central character & never read any other book of her..? Please help.. :)

Yes, this is a big payoff, but like the others I would urge you to start back a ways. I always think of Strong Poison as coming just before this one (it doesn't), but if you don't want to begin at the beginning, you might start with that one since there is a good deal of exposition to bring the reader up to speed about the characters.
