There was a children's show called Mister Magic that ran for decades, but the last showing of it was in in the 90s and now in current times you can't find any information about the show as all of the episodes and any information of it has been scrubbed from the internet, yet people know it happened.  A woman named Val is approached by a couple of men and they tell her that they were all in the last season of Mister Magic and there is a podcast that is going to talk about it and they want all of the cast members from that last season to get together again.  Val doesn't remember these people or the show, but agrees to go to the dessert in Utah where it was filmed to figure out about her past.  I listened to this book and I was so glad that I did.  I think that it was a really good listen.  I was captivated through all of the book to see how it was going to play out.  I know that it had some mysterious/supernatural elements to it that I'm not a huge fan of in books, but I think it worked here. The book could've taken a turn in a horror direction, but it didn't (might've worked with this book).  Definitely some anti-religious overtones to this book.
