Murderland 2009 Three part mini series that was created and written by David Pirie and directed by Catherine Morshead. Pirie created the series Murder Rooms and wrote novels too. The synopsis came from the Wikipedia.
Carrie's Story One night in 1994 Carrie comes home from a party to find her mother Sally, a prostitute, had been murdered. Carrie sees a man's shadow on the wall and, whilst phoning the police, observed a man with a blood-stained hand. She is keen to help D.I. Hain in his investigation, though the crime goes unsolved. Fifteen years later, Carrie, now known as Carol, is about to get married. She goes to visit Hain to help put the tragedy of her mother's murder behind her.
Hain's Story Hain explains to Carol his own position fifteen years earlier and how he was dropped from the case because he was a client of Sally, whom he loved. Hain used Cleo's, the massage parlor where Sally worked, to gain information from her former colleagues. He suspected another policeman, Oliver, of having shady dealings with Tony Phillips, the man behind Cleo's. Hain was subsequently given early retirement. Carol decides to go under cover herself at the massage parlor to see if she can find answers.
Carol's Story Hain and Carol continue to dig into the past, despite death threats. Carol registers at the massage parlor as Angel and forces Whittaker, a regular client, to admit he took photographs for a pedophile ring. Carol tracks down another victim, Andrew, who identifies Rachel as a procuress for the group. Rachel names Phillips and Oliver as its ring-leaders and admits she saw the murderer of Sally but was forced to keep quiet at the time.
It was OK but I wasn't that interested in the story or the characters. Not something I'd bother with again.
