About this listen

Winner in the Best Podcast Fiction category at the 2022 Banff Rockie Awards.

Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

At the edge of an old orchard, on the grounds of an exclusive private girls’ school, a teenage boy is found dead. Was it murder, suicide, or something else?

Disaffected police detective and struggling single parent, Adam Durwood, is assigned to investigate, but the closer he looks the more the facts don’t add up. At the centre of the mystery are three beguiling and manipulative teenagers who seem to know much more than they should, and are slowly drawing Adam into a web he can’t see.

Blending crime drama and supernatural mystery, The Orchard is a ground-breaking Audible Original series immersing audiences in a haunting tale of memory, myth and unnatural forces.

Written by Mike Jones and Mike Cowap and produced by Princess Pictures.

Performed by Eric Bana, Gary Sweet, Magda Szubanski, Olivia Deeble, Lisa-Marie Shaw and Ashleigh-Rose Nicholson.

Eric Bana was enough reason to listen but the story really wraps you up in a great story. It's mysterious and creepy with lots of twists and surprises. But it's also surprisingly emotional centred around a relationship between father and daughter. A very satisfying end but could also easily have another season with more story to tell!

Totally compelling
