I'd argue you could theoretically read them in any order and still get a decent potboiler experience, but you'd be missing the point entirely. Archer is weaving a tapestry. The pleasure is in seeing the long game: how a decision made by a young Harry in book one echoes in the boardrooms of book five, how a secret buried in book two explodes in book six. Reading them as intended lets you appreciate the craftsmanship of the plotting, even if the prose itself is sometimes workmanlike. It's the literary equivalent of binge-watching a great TV series.

Hey, has the series been optioned for TV yet? It feels tailor-made for a Sunday night drama series. Seven seasons, one per book. They could even call it 'The Clifton Chronicles'. Casting would be fun—you'd need actors who can age decades. Anyway, to stay on topic, you'd watch that show from Season 1, Episode 1. Same principle applies to the books. Don't jump into Season 4.

One thing I appreciated was how each book, while part of the whole, has a distinct flavor. Book one is a coming-of-age mystery. Book two is a war and courtroom drama. Book three delves into post-war business. This variety keeps the series fresh, but the variety is paced intentionally. Reading them out of order might land you in a pure political thriller ('Cometh the Hour') before you've had the character-building family drama, making it feel colder and less personal than intended.
