What is the setting of Shakespeare's Champion by Charlaine Harris?

The novel takes place in Shakespeare, Arkansas, a small southern town. The town itself is described in some detail by the main character, Lily Bard, as she goes about her life as a cleaning lady. Lily's job gives her more access to the town and its people than most, simply because most people tend to forget the cleaning lady is even present. This is evident when Howell Winthrop Jr. and Jack Leeds store the gun cache found at the sporting goods store at the Winthrop home. Howell Jr. had simply forgotten that Lily would be there.
