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.

Inhaltlich echt gut.........Aber das Soundmixing,ist mit Abstand das grausigste,was ich je in diesem Bereich je gehört habe.Absolut kreischende Mitten.....Stellenweise absolut leises Flüstern,gefolgt von bis an die Wand gefahrenen Schreien und Soundeffekten.Manchmal unterhalten sich drei Personen in einem Raum und nur 2 von ihnen haben überzogenen Hall drauf....die Dritte Person hört sich dafür an,als wäre sie nichtmal in der gleichen Zeitepoche.Equalizer ist für den Soundengineer warscheinlich auch nur ein Film mit Denzel Washington.

Geschichte ist spannend.................aaaber...

Thought I was tired of weary police detectives with unusual quirks, but yet another one "gets me". A murder near an exclusive girls school causes more ripples than mere facts, even the daughter of the weary detective is drawn into the investigation, but on a very different level. Nice to hear Eric Bana speak in his native Australian accent. :)

Quiet and atmospheric thriller, great performances

no, it was not good, i did not like it, though i pulled through to the end for hopes sake and promptly got as disappointed as expected after the first part.
so, there is this elite school with a secret that causes the death of a juvenile boy and a cop who senses foul play while everyone else hushes it up, some with a purpose, some unknowingly. and hence the cop stereotypically works hard and long and neglects his coming-up-teens daughter. and as the story unfolds with screaming, howling and cursing, alternating with whispers and mysterious background rustling which i found very hard to tarry out for my ears, we finally learn, that those elitist people fight desperately to keep their terrible memories alive by keeping them totally secret from the world to maintain very simply their very own elitist position.
my mind revolts against a philosophy that tries to convey the utmost importance of remembering, at the same time covering up murder, questionable initiation rites, suicide and accidents that leave people dead or debilitated. honestly, what is the point here? should i really take home the message that it is okay to own knowledge the better to control and manipulate without being hampered by the profane scruples the simple people might have?
all i was hoping for was a solid whodunnit crime story. shame, this was not it.

dumb and pointless

Gefällt mir nicht - eine fehlende, Sinn gebende Geschichte kann man eben nicht durch Kreischen und Audioeffekte ersetzen. Die Sprecher haben die Rollen sehr gut umgesetzt, das war es aber dann auch schon. Schade um die Produktionskosten.

Audioeffekte, aber keine Geschichte
