A Brief Word On Safety | A Charles Paris Mystery

A safety video is supposed to show people what not to do — though at Marlowe Hydraulics, the most dangerous thing on set may be the truth. In A Brief Word On Safety, Charles Paris accepts a humiliating corporate training-video role as “Confused Visitor Number Two” at a Midlands factory. The job seems simple: wear a hard hat, look lost, and nearly step into a forklift lane. But behind the freshly painted safety slogans, revised call sheets, visitor passes, and cheerful corporate language, Charles begins to notice that Marlowe Hydraulics may be filming a performance of safety rather than practising it. When a sponsor liaison starts asking awkward questions about Bay Four, an old factory accident, and a missing report, the training video becomes a stage for panic, class resentment, and a deadly cover-up. A wry British showbiz cozy mystery full of backstage satire, corporate absurdity, fair-play clues, and Charles Paris’s usual professional humiliation.
