* DwindlingParty: One of the defining parts of the show's premise was the fact that there would always be atleast one person killed in each episode.

A [[MiniSeries limited-run]] weekly mystery series airing on Creator/{{CBS}} in the spring of 2009. Think of it as Creator/AgathaChristie meets ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''.

Seven years after psychopath John Wakefield went on a killing spree on the small community of Harper's Island, Henry Dunn and Trish Wellington are returning there to get married. Soon after the guests arrive, someone begins picking them off one by one in a manner reminiscent of -- you guessed it -- the Wakefield murders. The murderer seems to have taken a particular interest in Abby Mills, the daughter of the local sheriff, whose mother happened to be one of the original murder victims.
