Magdalene Laundries. Something clicked. Miss Fisher's Mysteries (Phryne (Franny) Fisher) these are books turned into a series of one hr. mystery movies that were on Netlix and now on WTTW-Prime I am totally hooked on these shows. Imagine my surprise to see trafficking being covered in one of them. Yes, and nuns running a girls workhouse laundry. You set it off and yes, it is modeled after Magdalene Laundries. I think that the author of these stories sometimes has little massages and he is trying to keep it entertaining while exposing some dark happenings. I am really surprised. https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/fiction/crime-mystery/Unnatural-Habits-Kerry-Greenwood-9781742372433 Unnatural Habits is the name of the Episode. Miss Fisher is No Miss Marple - quite the opposite. Ahem.

Interesting, thank you. Kerry Greenwood is the author it seems :

She is not married, has no children and lives with a registered wizard.

That wizard is David Graegg https://www.clandestinepress.com.au/author/david-greagg

At various times David has been an economist, accountant, company secretary, policy analyst, astrologer, TV quiz show contestant and teacher of mathematics, chemistry & physics; as well as a medieval warrior and accredited wizard.

The occult connection is strange, since there is the informing of trafficking and laundry workhouse operation. And yes the being a wizard. Um, kind of sketchy.
