The attacker at the beginning of the book was an artist angry about Toby’s gallery show that he had botched. He claims PTSD from his brain injury at the beginning of the book and is sent to a mental hospital instead of to jail. Toby and the detective fight, and Toby kills him. The detective still suspected Toby had something to do with it though, and came to his house to ask Toby about the emails that Toby had been sending to Dominic leading up to his death, pretending to be Susanna and encouraging his attention. He seems to have known about it all along. Hugo took the blame because he was about to die of brain cancer, and the case was closed once he died. He threatened to follow Susanna to college, so she came up with a plan to kill him and asked Leon to help. Susanna and Leon had killed Dominic because he was constantly sexually harassing Susanna and bullying Leon. Book spoilers ahead–if you haven’t yet read The Witch Elm, I suggest you turn back now.
