Gillian Flynn's book Sharp Objects, on which this series is based, was written before Gone Girl and took 12 long years to be made into a mini-series.

Flynn has said that Sharp Objects is the book that most of her readers ask about at book signings and on social media. I'm so glad that this novel was made into a mini-series rather than a movie. I don't think it would have been possible to cram the story into two hours.
