She didn't run from her dark past. She moved in.
For the lucky among us, life is what you make of it; but for Dixie Wheeler, the theme music for her story was chosen by another long ago, on the day her father butchered her mother and brothers and then slashed a knife across his own throat. Only one-year-old Dixie was spared, becoming infamously known as Baby Blue for the song left playing in the aftermath of the slaughter.
Twenty-five years later, Dixie is still desperate for a connection to the family she can’t remember. So when her childhood home goes up for sale, Dixie sets aside all reason and moves in. But as the ghosts of her family seemingly begin to take up residence in the house that was once theirs, Dixie starts to question her sanity and wonders if the evil force menacing her is that of her father or a demon of her own making.
In order to make sense of her present, Dixie becomes determined to unravel the truth of her past and seeks out the detective who originally investigated the murders. But the more she learns, the more she opens up the uncomfortable possibility that the sins of her father may belong to another. As bodies begin to pile up around her, Dixie must find a way to expose the lunacy behind her family’s massacre to save her few loved ones who are still alive—and whatever scrap of sanity she has left.

Narrator Sarah Mollo-Christensen's grave, introspective tones are well suited to this grisly yet cerebral mystery. When Dixie Wheeler was a baby, her family was brutally murdered. Twenty-five years later, Dixie moves into her ancestral home, yearning to confront her past. Vandelly spares few details, and Mollo-Christensen vividly unfurls bloody scenes, disturbing visions, and bizarre encounters that leave listeners unsure of what is real and whom to trust. Her evocative characterizations range from antagonistic family members and well-meaning neighbors to a gruff boyfriend and the grizzled detective still hoping to solve her case. Mollo-Christensen's intonations urge listeners to stay with Dixie in her winding, dangerous search for answers. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
