Enjoyable parallel universes play. The acting, writing, and plot style grew on me.

I thought that I was picking out an audio book that was originally a book....but I'm not sure that's what this was.
It was alright, but not really that great. I think perhaps it would be better if it were a longer book. The idea of an alternate reality where people can "fade" in or out sounds super awesome to me. But, in the end, they don't explain how it happens, or why.
Sigh.

The story is based in Montreal.
People are disappearing, no, fading away, into another reality. Jack Flanders travels from New York to investigate the paranormal mystery. to help find a friend’s friend who‘d vanished into that mysterious reality-place,
which could be a parallel Montreal, where people wear clothes like they’re from a renaissance fair and have sounds for names.
The gate to that place is what Jack is looking for, along with answers. there is always this blind street musician playing his accordion when people are seen flickering into that mysterious realm. A mysterious woman who wouldn’t tell Jack her name was giving him hints and leaving whenever he gets closer to the answer. He calls her “Madam Ciaio”
when he got frustrated she would tell him that:
“Patience is the key to paradise.”
The world building is fast but clear enough, the story is engaging , overall an entertaining radio drama. My only take is that there was a lot of French (which I didn’t understand) but it plays into the plot. This was my first listen to a “travelling jack” story and I would say it is well-done and I’m looking forward for more.!
