To clarify, I didn't mean to imply Archer is not involved in
his cases, he surely is. What I meant was that we don't get a
lot of his interior character. We see through his eyes,
definitely get his (often judgemental) viewpoint of everyone
else, but rarely see behind those eyes. It is a mild version
of what Robbe-Grillett did in Jealousy, where the narrator is
so hidden that it takes a while to realize that there is one,
that it is told in the first person and not third person
omniscient.
