Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn books, is it important to read them in order? [View all]

Got hooked on Dark Winds on Netflix and started reading the books after binging seasons one and two. I finished the third book in the series, and the library has a four week wait on the Kindle version of the fourth book. I usually read books sequentially. Should I be patient, or jump to book 5?
