![]() ![]() ![]() In the case of Archer himself, I find him guilty as charged: this is a truly terrible novel. Archer's writing has a forensic bent, and as the characters take turns to present their version of events they often sound as if they're in the dock. What is the appeal for Archer's legions of fans?
