Books Set in the Missouri Ozarks
Mar. 21st, 2023 07:18 amToday's topic is Top Ten Tuesday Rewind, where we revisit a topic from the past. I decided to highlight books set where I live, in the lovely Missouri Ozarks. The scenery is beautiful and the people are friendly, making this a heartwarming place to live — or visit in a book. 🙂

This is a really fun series set shortly after the Civil War. Each story is filled with unique characters and plenty of misunderstandings. I am especially fond of the second and third books, but all of them are great.

Undoubtedly the most famous work set in the area, this 1907 novel truly brings the Ozarks to life. The struggle and simplicity of mountain life are on display. Someday I should read his other books set here, too.

The small town of Ruby, Missouri, draws you in with its Ozarkian charm and winsome characters. This series has three books with another one I'm looking forward to releasing in August.

This husband and wife writing team live in Missouri and have written several medical mysteries set here, including many in the Hideaway series, as well as their Healing Touch series. I've enjoyed all the ones I've read!

I've never read any of the Love Finds You books, but I'd be willing to read this one. 🙂 I'm coming up on 19 years living close to Branson, and it would be fun to see this how well the author conveyed the local culture.
