I don't think it's an aversion if there's a demographic constraint.
If it were adult Detective Fiction, then it might be an aversion worth mentioning. But as it is, I'd say leave it out.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

^^ I'd say, for my example I can't even be sure whether demographics is the reason; after all Detective Conan (for the same age group of the opposite gender), is practically a Body of the Week series to the point of Memetic Mutation.

There's Always Murder and Never One Murder, which summarizes that murders are common in mystery novels. But how about when a mystery novel series has no murder? This is often the side effect of a demographic constraint.
The example in my head is the Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note series, which has a tween girl demographic. I have only read part of the novels, but my impression is that it won't have murder in the traditional sense (there's a case of euthanasia, though). The anime adaptation has no deaths, period. So, is it an aversion or an inversion of Always Murder? Or not belonging to any trope?
