Personal line in the sand

It's been more than a decade since I reviewed Tana French's novel In the Woods, but it stands out in my memory. The upcoming Starz adaptation of both In the Woods and French's followup, The Likeness, looks like they've put a lot of effort into capturing the novels' tone, but I'm not sure that will be enough for me to break my strict rule of avoiding all TV shows that open with the death of a young girl.
