About this listen
Beneath the surface of Orchid Hill’s polished exterior, something dark is waiting to be uncovered.
Cass Maccabee thought her new life in the Gardens of Orchid Hill would be perfect—a luxury home, an ideal neighborhood, and a promising future. But when she arrives, she can’t shake the feeling that something is off. There are whispers of secrets, hidden motives, and a dark past no one dares to speak about.
As Cass becomes entangled in the lives of the women around her, she senses that behind their perfect smiles and flawless facades, danger and deception are lurking. In a world of high-tech comforts and traditional charm, the walls of Orchid Hill hold more than just gossip—they hide truths that could destroy everything.
With strong female leads and an air of suspense that keeps you guessing, The Garden of Wives is a psychological thriller where nothing is as it seems, and trust is a dangerous game. The deeper Cass digs, the more she realizes that appearances are only part of the story—and the real terror lies in the secrets buried beneath the surface.

Story
This is the day my life changes forever. It started so normally. The alarm went at 7am. My husband made bacon and pancakes for me and our seven-year-old daughter, the kitchen full of chatter and laughter. He gave me a quick kiss, told me he loved me, grabbed his wallet, and rushed off to work. Just an ordinary day. Until I get the call from the school. It was Tom’s turn to pick up our daughter. He must be held up for some reason. I find Tom’s phone under our bed. Now I know there’s something seriously wrong. I scroll through his messages. A text sent late last night: I KNOW EVERYTHING.

I take a sip of coffee as I plan my day. My surgeon husband, Cole, slept at work last night, so I had to get the kids ready on my own, again. I can’t complain, though, I’ve loved him ever since we met, long before he became a famous surgeon and the papers started calling him the pride of the hospital. Our latest family photo hangs on the kitchen wall and I remember that day so clearly. Cole screamed at me over nothing, then apologised saying he was stressed at work. My heart pounded with fear, but I plastered a smile on my face for the sake of my children.
