Tana French Series Heads to TV

As Tana French’s latest novel—a standalone titled The Witch Elm—finds a place on more and more “best crime fiction of 2018” lists, In Reference to Murder blogger B.V. Lawson highlights this news about her series of Dublin Murder Squad yarns:
Starz has acquired the eight-episode crime drama series Dublin Murders, adapted from Tana French’s first two novels in the Dublin Murder Squad crime series, In the Woods and The Likeness. Dublin Murders follows Rob Reilly (Killian Scott)—a smart-suited detective whose English accent marks him as an outsider—who is dispatched to investigate the murder of a young girl on the outskirts of Dublin with his partner, Cassie Maddox (Sarah Greene). Reilly is pulled back into another case of missing children and forced to confront his own darkness even as Cassie is sent undercover for another murder case and forced to come face to face with her own brutal reckoning.
U.S. TV viewers should see Dublin Murders premiere in 2019.
