First, there were 22 episodes in the first season, while according to this fact sheet issued by the state of Maine, there were more than 25 homicides in Maine in 1985. 22 is not half-again more than 26.

Second, the Cabot Cove total was substantially lower than 22. Most of the murders on the show happened elsewhere -- it is reported that the number of Cabot Cove episodes per season averages 5.3.

Cabot Cove still has an astonishingly high murder rate for a small town, sure, but it's not actually as bad as you make it out to be.
