    Find Out 'Who Done It' on the Harper's Island Finale

    Harpers_IslandScreenShot1 Harper's Island debuted four short months ago with a cast of healthy, happy characters who were delighted to make the trek to Harper's Island near Seattle, WA to witness their good friends, Henry and Trish tie the knot.

    Over the course of these weeks we've observed more than 17 brutal deaths in conjunction with heart pounding suspense. 

    This weekend marks the end of the Harper's Island journey with a two hour finale.  With only six survivors remaining and questions unanswered, motives and fates will finally be determined but not before more blood is shed.  Let's review: deaths have included decapitation, burning alive, gun shot, mangled by boat rudder, impaling and a whole lot more. 

    Out of all the gruesome deaths, we want to know which death scene was your favorite and why? Leave us a comment with your answer.
