The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie soon to be a film known as Flavia.

by Alan Bradley

The plot revolves around an 11-year-old protagonist who discovers a dead body at her family’s dilapidated British manor house and becomes involved in a murder inquiry targeting her father.

The book, first of a series, was first published April 28, 2009 and won many
Literary awards ~~ Barry Award for Best First Novel (2010), Macavity Award for Best First Mystery Novel (2010), Anthony Award Nominee for Best First Novel (2010), Dilys Award (2010), Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel (2010), Agatha Award for Best First Novel (2009), CWA Debut Dagger (2007), Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Fiction & Mystery/Thriller (2009).

I would have thought a series would have been more appropriate for this but from all I can find there is - so far - only one movie to be made. We will see what happens as we go forward...

IMBd -
It says it is Based on the Flavia De Luce novels by Alan Bradley - see that s on novels? So not based on one book, but the whole damn slew? That is just too bad! So much to work with and so little effort!

It is still in development so no idea yet what station - if any - it will end up on or what the film release date may be. I will keep watch.

News!!

Nothing on the Flavia De Luce series other than it will be a TV series and it will be presented at the Caanes Festival.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley is the first book of a soon to be 12 book series - so plenty of material to work with and expand the seasons.
