**This review is based upon an ARC I received from the author in return for feedback and an honest review.**Sheriff MacArthur Gray has returned to his home town after a long stint in a big city, but heartache and a nightmare scenario follows him.  People in his town are being murdered, but the townsfolk refuse to see the truth in a world where an inoculation at birth has wiped out the psychopathic gene.  Now in a race against time to expose the killer, and save those people he loves the most, Gray must dig deep to not only prevent further deaths but to also stop becoming a victim himself.Widow Town, is the newest novel by Joe Hart, and it’s quite possibly his best to date.  Set in America forty years into the future where a vaccine has wiped out the threat of serial killers, it’s a fast-paced read filled with great characters and a believable plot—everything you want in a thriller novel.  MacArthur Gray has his faults, but this is what draws the reader to him, he’s someone you can truly relate to, and that’s not often done well in fiction these days.  The supporting cast adds their weight too, and Joe Hart has created a living town that feels like it could be one just down the road from your place.The plot is believable too, particularly as Hart hasn’t introduced a whole bunch of futuristic elements into the novel which would probably have spoiled the feel of it.  And while you might figure out the identity of the killer a few pages before the big reveal (I did, but I will say that the clues were covered very well indeed) it shouldn’t detract in any way from a novel that is fantastically written and a pleasure to read.Joe Hart has a ton of books out, so if you don’t fancy this one just yet pick one of his others and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.  I also guarantee you’ll come back to this one eventually and buy it anyway.
