The Ross MacAllister series consists of two murder mystery novels by Peter N. Walker, both published in 1996. Murder Beneath the Trees and Murder by the Lake follow the titular investigator through cases set in the kind of rural English landscape that Walker knew well and returned to throughout his career.
As a two-book series, Ross MacAllister is one of Walker’s smaller projects. The countryside settings connect it to his much larger Constable Nick series, though MacAllister operates in a different investigative context. Both books can be read as standalone murder mysteries.
