rabid1stI don't know. But the time has come to tell you what I think is going on.
Spoilers under this cut...of course...
First, I should say that I have been on the same person since the first episode. More about that person later. I just did a catalogue of who it could be, and we have pretty much eliminated those people, in the same fashion I did. And, while people watching with me are not filled with an equal suspicion, they are beginning to agree with me on some things. So, I figured I would post and see if anyone else feels as I do.
I should note that while I adore David Tennant's acting, I am sniffing a bit of the Doctor in his character this time. Usually, I don't have that problem. Perhaps he sees some parallel...or, you know, the Doctor was on his mind a bit. It is more in the little mannerisms and moments than anything else.
And, I have no idea what affliction is plaguing DI Hardy. At first, I thought it was his digestion. Then, I thought it was his heart. Now, I'm thinking lung cancer or brain tumor. It seems to react to stress. Perhaps he's got something psychosomatic. LOL
The Main Suspects...as I see it are Nigel, Susan (the trailer lady), The Vicar, Danny's Dad...and my suspect.
My sister had her money on the Vicar, but I think he's in the clear now as he's been investigated.
Ditto I think for Susan. She was way too much of a red herring from the start. Just because a person acts all broody and suspicious is no reason to assume they are guilty. The skateboard seemed reason enough, though, and her hostile attiude. But I imagine that is much the same as the old newspaper salesperson. Susan changed her name and obviously doesn't want to be identified. I thought it was possible that she was doing something with young boys, after the encounter with Tom Miller at the arcade. Maybe having them sell drugs.
Nigel, the partner, and dog assassin looks very guilty of something. I think it might be poaching. I think that's why he's hiding his crossbow. And I think he is killing the dog, because Susan knows he is poaching and he's afraid of her while she has the dog. Nigel will be the suspect they narrow in on at the end. Because of the dog...and his doing something up there by the hut...and maybe they will link him somehow. But mostly they will link him because of how he looks. A think a witness is going to come forward, probably Miller's sister.
As for Danny's Dad, I bet you are all thinking he's been cleared, but he has 2 hours unaccounted for in his evening. And we do know that the early texts that Tom Miller deleted...and is now so very desperate to not have found...mentioned "DAD" and "I know what he's doing." We are expected to believe that those messages were about Mark Lattimer, Danny's Dad. But...I believe they were about TOM'S dad...
My suspect is DI Miller's husband, Tom's dad, Fred Miller. I think Danny found out something very bad about Tom's dad. And he was paid to forget about it. But, he didn't. He confronted Fred Miller and was killed. And then, Fred thought of the family boat on the beach...and tried to make it look like a suicide...by leaving no footprints or trace evidence. I would bet you those cigarettes belong to Susan, who just happened to be around at the time. Or even found the body and the skateboard. Because the skateboard could have been there at the site. Explaining why Danny was so far from the cliff. He skated off of it. But, the trailer lady took the skateboard. Tom Miller is protecting his dad from suspicion. I don't think he believes it WAS his dad. I do wonder if Susan, the trailer lady, knows something more, since she gave Tom that skateboard. If so, she is not long for this world, either, I think.
And there you have it. Next person targeted for suspicion will be Nigel. But it will turn out to be Fred Miller who killed Danny. That was him or Nigel that made physical contact with DI Miller on Monday night. If it was Fred, he could easily have called her phone to find out where she was in the dark and found she was so close he had to rush past her. Later, he will explain that he was just looking for her and will be assumed to have an alibi. Boat in the family. Tom hating Danny. Text messages we misunderstood. Computer destroyed. Access to investigation. Stood up for the innocent people as they were targeted. Could have called DI Miller quickly, to distract her. Last person she is going to suspect. Fred Miller.
