  Is perhaps your view of his novels coloured by his politics? I know a lady friend of my deceased former wife who was very left wing, and I do mean very, she once was very embarrassed to admit to me that she picked up a Archer novel and enjoyed it!!
  
  An amusing aside about this lady. She met my wife in Uni and 'lived' her left wing lifestyle, she was in fact a stereotype of the 80's extreme left, you know the type. She went to live and work in Communist China for several years where she met and married a Chinese man (after a 'right-on' lesbian affair to the horror of my wife...). She brought him back to the UK and I met him a number of times and we got on very well. What shocked his wife was that he admitted to admiring Mrs T and politically he and I were very much in tune!! She had assumed he would be a Communist and had never discussed these issues with him.... he is now a very successful Chinese businessman, running factories in China and he and his wife have a home in south west London.
