Overview
They survived a plane crash only to disappear on a deserted island. In the harrowing days after Alex and her co-workers survive a plane crash, they give up hope of immediate rescue from their deserted island in the Caribbean. To commemorate the lack of meaning time has for them anymore, they pile their watches at the low tide mark of their beach for the sea to carry the timepieces away. In the short term, goats and fruit abound, but those resources will only last so long. The party uncovers more immediate concerns when they wake up one morning to find one of their number has disappeared during the night. In their search for him, they find his watch lying in a pool of blood. When they turn up no suspects or explanations, they carry on as best they can, albeit warily ... until it happens a second time. The survivors conclude there is a killer in their midst, which leads to two important questions. Who will be next? And who or what is doing the killing? As the cycle repeats itself and their numbers continue to dwindle, anxiety and suspicion abound, leading to a third question - who will be last?

Reviews
"""Action packed and suspense-filled from start to finish where everyone is a survivor but also a potential killer."" -- Georgina Cross, author of Nanny Needed, One Night, The Stepdaughter ""A page-turner with insights into human nature that resonate, and twists and turns that lock you in until the surprising conclusion. A delicious and witty mystery from J. W. Judge."" -- Barbara Hinske, USA Today bestselling author of Deadly Parcel and Final Circuit ""J. W. Judge's ""Watch Party"" puts a modern spin on a deserted island plane crash, but when survivors start disappearing, it ramps up the already anxious castaways. His story becomes even more of a page-swiper in the second half of the story, and while sprinkled with just enough gallows humor, Judge keeps the tension going until the very end in this one-POV suspense novel."" -- Laurie Fagen, author of the Behind the Mic Mysteries ""Lost meets Agatha Christie! This suspense-filled tale of island castaways and murder keeps you guessing until the very end."" -- Lisa M. Lilly, author of the Q. C. Davis Mysteries"
