Robbie Coltrane stared in the TV series and made the Cracker series totally unique and memorable. Not a happy or likeable character but riveting watching.

The book captures the dynamics of characters that are outcasts in a way and abrasive with each other but wanting some sort of salvation. The outcome is not who did what but a resolution of some of the conflicts and hurts of the main characters. Does this makes them happier? Who knows, but perhaps they wouldn't be happy if they were happy if you know what I mean.

It is a good read.

I am not sure where I am going to leave the book but I hope if you pick it up you will carry on this noble aim i.e. read it, add to the journal here and send it on it's journey.
