I'm working on a sequel to my first mystery. How important is it to avoid spoilers about the first book, so that the suspense remains for readers who don't read books in order?
For example, Book 1 features a mystery character whose identity is dramatically revealed. He reappears in Book 2. For someone who reads out of order, the big reveal in Book 1 will be spoiled. Should I just forge ahead and not concern myself with spoilers?
