In Things Unseen, a murder mystery by David T. Isaak, Walker Clayborne travels to Yucca Valley in the Californian desert to identify his sister's body after she was found strangled in her home. A friend of Claire's provided the police with information regarding her death, but some details were not made public. The police disregarded the woman's information since she claimed it was based on hallucinations. Walker stayed in Claire's cottage to find out what happened to her. After being attacked, Walker was advised by the police to go back to his San Diego home, but he wanted to find the truth. Walker deals with things he could hardly believe when he visits Claire's community, but to find the killer, he has to confront them.

David T. Isaak intertwines the worlds of faith and science in Things Unseen. I was hooked from the start and turned the pages as fast as possible. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page until the last. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what would happen next and was guessing until the end. The characters were well-developed and authentic. Claire's friends were not like other people; they were complex and even strange. Walker was a practical person who valued his work over the personalities of people. He changed later on and even got along with some of Claire’s friends. The story is well written and is an intriguing mystery with parts of universal elements of reality that are fascinating.
