With only two episodes to go, who do you think killed.....? SPOILERS

1. Grace Gibson?
2. Cara?
3. The Taxi driver (friend of the illegal one)?
4. The little girl in episode 6?

Any other relevant deaths? Was Marcella's daughter killed also? And if so, by whom?

...............

I think there are at least 2 killers, the main suspects are:

Jason - could have killed Grace because she was going to leave him as she had fallen inlove with somebody else and was having his baby OR to frame Marcella or make her crazy thinking she did it (blames her for their daughter's death?). Jason also could have paid somebody to kidnap the little girl who died in Episode 6, because he knew it was the anniversary of his daughter's death, and this would have hit a nerve with Marcella. Maybe the 'kidnap' went wrong and they had to kill the child before getting caught.

DI Tim Williamson - Too nice for my liking. He worked with Marcella before so knows all about the previous case, and about her personal life, including her daughter's death. He could have killed Grace and left her body where he knew Marcella would look, in Hampstead Heath. He would know about her 'rage' and blacking out episodes, so he would know this would drive her up the wall and she would think she was the killer. He also could have kidnapped the little girl in Episode 6 for the same reason, because he knew it was the anniversary of her daughter's death. He also had inside knowledge of who the police were looking for etc, so he also could have killed the Taxi Driver because he could be a future witness against him in Grace's murder. Did he actually get Cara involved in Grace's murder, asked her to help him 'move' something that night? (And this was the 'girl', the taxi driver saw? This would also give him a reason to kill Cara. Motives? Psycopath, or revenge for something we don't know about yet?

Sylvie Gibson (Grace's mother) - - Could have killed Grace if Grace had told her she was pregnant with Jason or even worse, Sylvie's husband. Jealous of daughter? Doesn't seem to be mourning much, seems more interested in the 'property deal' than in finding her daughter's killer. I wonder why? She also could have had Cara killed because she's the one who slept with her and it was her jewellery she had stolen. We saw that Cara also had older female clients, and therefore perhaps Sylvie was one of them.

Regarding Marcella's daughter's death....why are they keeping the circumstances of her death a mystery?

BTW I believe all the other 'suspects' (ie. nearly all the cast) are just red herrings.

Any thoughts on who is doing the killings and why? 

The taxi driver being murdered certainly suggests cop, as no one else would have known of his existence, and presence near Grace's house that night.

If not a cop, the only direction I could see them going is Matthew Neil using his computer skills to hack the police database...but that seems like a tough sell.

The computer guy? Yeah, doesn't seem likely but who knows.  I suppose another cop could be the other female cop that accompanies Marcella sometimes, but I doubt it. I'm therefore sticking with DI Tim Williamson. 

Sadly, I don't care.

I'm absolutely convinced it's Tim Williamson

Or Marcella and it's something to do with the death of her daughter

Well we know now Henry Gibson's the serial killer. Sylvie was right in disliking him - he murdered his own half-sister! I think Grace was Henry's real target because he was jealous of her and/or wanted to hurt his stepmother, the others were killed to make it look like she was just a random victim of a nutter and to divert suspicion from himself.

My money's on Tim being the taxi driver's murderer (he may have also disposed of the brother). He seems to have a thing for Marcella or is obsessed with her. In his mind he was probably trying to "protect" her.

And as for Marcella, I don't see it ending well. She's probably going to lose her job or at the very least get suspended for a while.

I thought Henry Gibson was just a red herring because it just seemed like such a cliche - the jealous step-brother. Please!  Also he already played a villain in Games of Throne, so I thought surely they wouldn't make him the villain here....Wrong!

I agree that Tim is probably the taxi driver's killer. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Tim who put the plastic bag over Henry Gibson's head. I think he follows Marcella and as you say, 'protects' her or he may have another devious reason for doing it. If my theory is right, I wonder how many he's killed that way. 

Yeah things aren't looking good for Marcella. She's probably going to leave the Police Force, but new evidence will drag her back in...if only to protect herself and her involvement in the Grace Gibson murder.
