Figgs & Phantoms is my least favorite Raskin, though I only read it once. It's possible that her writing style just isn't for you, but I'd recommend The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues as another entry point -- the plot is kind of an absurdist parody of the mystery genre, but it has some moments that stuck with me.

In general I'd say that the recurrent theme of her work is about processing grief through absurdism, which can be very YMMV -- The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel) is the one that meant the most to me growing up, but I think it's best met as an early elementary schooler with a love of wordplay.
