That's why I think the murders have something to do with Trish and her family. Maybe they were somehow behind the Wakefield murders and somebody is taking revenge on them for framing Wakefield.

That means Abby, Cal, Lucy and Richard couldn't kill him. Nikki is bar tending and part of the scavenger hunt. Kelly's death: Cal is up a tree Marty's text message from the dead: Sully is shown juggling when the text message is sent (Henry's phone begins to ring while Sully is juggling.) Why the hell is he juggling? I think it's a clue that no way he could have sent the message. Lucy's death: Malcolm, Abby, Chloe, and Sully are all looking for Cal when Lucy is killed Cal is in a trap. So none of these people could be working alone as the murderer. Obviously they can all be suspects if there is more than one killer. I'm afraid this eliminates my favorite Cal/ Chloe murderers theory as both were seen when Lucy was killed (unless its a three way of murderers.)

The lead-up narrative combined with the total lack of family given Henry, the groom, makes me think that secret is... Spoiler [+] Thomas Wellington is the biological father of Henry Dunn. And what the father is trying to stop is essentially an incestuous marriage between his daughter and son, half-brother and half-sister. The Wellingtons and the Dunns have had close contact through their earlier history, and we know how much Mr. Wellington likes younger women. Wellington must have sired a son with one of the help. And when that rumor flew around town with possible blackmail implications, Mr. Wellington or someone from the Wellington family called the hit. A tough-guy associate probably executed the hit, perhaps a townie.

And probably Henry has an accomplice with Booth -and that justifies the earlier bag clues. however, since Booth isn't a main character, Henry (the killer) dispatches of him when he's not needed any longer. The clues from the first episode does make me conclude that Booth is the killer. I agree that Booth cannot do the killings alone because he probably does not have the knowledge of the people and the logistics of the island. I don't think that it is Henry who is planning the murders because he was busy with Trish when his uncle was murdered. Booth must be an accomplice to someone from the island because: 1. How would he know about Kelly Seaver, nevermind her being with JD? She is not in the wedding party. 2. How would he know about the bridge, the snare and the pit and where they are located? 3. How would he know to steal the spade from the Maritime Museum? Both the snare and the pit can be used by hunters to trap animals. I think that Shane (who hunts) and Booth are working together. Why did Shane refuse to put his hands in the water under the boat where Cousin Ben was? I think that Shane plans the murders and Booth carries them out.

Nikki "The Bar Tender" (+4) 4. Sheriff "The Sheriff" (+1) 5. Shea "The Maid of Honor" (-1) 6. Henry "The Groom" (+10) 7. Maggie "The Wedding Planner" (+1) 8. Cal "The English Guy" (+11) 9. Danny "The Black" (+1) 10. Mrs. Wellington "The Stepmother" (-1) 11. Sully "The Best Man" (+1) 12. Malcolm "The Fat Dude" (+1) 13. Abby "The Main Character" (+2) 14. Chloe "The Flirt" (+3) 15. Mr. Wellington "Father of the Bride" (+6) 16. Richard "The Brother-In-Law" (-5) 17. Trish "The Bride" (+1) 18. J.D. "The Black Sheep" (+2) 19. Beth "The Person" (-16) 20. Madison "The Creepy Kid" (+3) 21. Shane "The Angry Townie" (+1) 22. Hunter "The Other Man" (+2) Week 2 LEAST LIKELY KILLER The biggest winners of episode 2 are Henry and Cal because nothing says "killer" like being strung up by a trap or getting a deer-head thrown in your tub. The biggest loser this week is "Beth," "Beth," being invisible for this long can't be good for your health. Also, there's an episode one scene where Chloe mentions being chopped up, hanged (close up on Beth) and burned alive (close up on Lucy/Paris Hilton); so her death is pretty much telegraphed at this point. The nerd has officially pushed aside the old flame as most likely killer, proving my motto, "Don't hunt deer, just carry around a big backpack."

Shane, JD and Mr. Wellington will be red herring people for the idiots watching. No way it's just Booth because who the hell is he, and the killer has to have dramatic weight to Abby. The killer is either the Groom (working with Booth -who will be killed later on), Trish working with someone; or Groom and Jimmy- Abby's two men working together (rewatch their meeting scene last episode and how little is actually said). Henry and Jimmy working together then gives Abby weight in the end where she's not depending on a man and has to face her own demons (yawn, i know and hello, Scream) -but I can see it happening. otherwise it's Henry. Abby figures out it's Jimmy, Henry and Abby defeat Jimmy, with then Abby shockingly finding out it was really Henry and poor sweet Jimmy has been killed only for her to fight crazy Henry and then Jimmy is still actualy alive and happily ever after. Cal also lives -with Chloe having an epic seemingly death too towards the end, only to be found she did something witty to survive it.

Since we know this is a television drama (and not a slasher movie or a reality show), it's going to stick to standard forms of dramatic narrative. If Abby is the main character, and we can rule out the fact that she may be the killer, then you can see how things around her will play out based on the basic cliches of nighttime television plot development. Because of that, it seems obvious to me that the killer is either Jimmy or Henry (or both, maybe). If somebody else is the killer, then there seems to be something slightly offkilter in planting a love triangle in the middle of the show, especially when one of the participants is getting married to somebody else. That conversation during episode one about 'men can never be just friends with women' (what total bullshit, by the way) is about the strongest signal they could give us that Henry is going to express some sort of romantic feeling for Abby, probably after Trish has proven to be unfaithful or is murdered. Of course, this might be a really, really badly written show, and so, will remain unpredictable because they writers won't know what they're doing..

I think it's supposed to be "suspicious", and is therefore too obvious, and I'm sure he'll be suspected by some people on the show until he turns up dead, even though any killer with any sense would leave people like him and JD until the end, since they'd be obvious suspects. Plus, he has nothing to do with the wedding, so there's no reason we'd be seeing him with all the rest of the people all the time.

Also, with the exception of Kelly, the victims haven't yet been found. Is the killer collecting them and hanging them from a tree? Maybe the two dads (father of the bride and sheriff) are working together. Trish's dad was the original killer and bribed or blackmailed Sheriff to cover. He doesn't want his daughter to marry Henry so what better way to stop a wedding than have a bunch of murders and, possibly, frame Henry for it. The eye-patched cab driver seemed very familiar to me but I can't place him. Odd to have a familiar actor (if he is) have such a small cameo role.
