I strongly recommend “Fire Watch.” It’s short but I think it’s one of her best. http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/firewatch.htm I asked one of the St Paul’s ringers if I could go up on the roof and pretend to be the fire watch. No.
The problem we had with almost everything Willis is that there is time travel but no cell phones. Many of her plots wouldn’t work if people could get in touch with each other easily. At least in “Passage” the hospital doctors had pagers.
