Summary
DI Jill Raymond of the Metropolitan Police in Greater London is used to handling cases in her region on her own, but then a murder takes place that involves the borough next door. Chief Superintendent Julie Dodson assigns newer arrival DI Rachel Bailey to work with Jill on the case. At first sight the women would appear to have nothing in common. Jill is recovering from the death two years ago of her long term partner; Rachel has a four year old son and a complicated relationship with his father and men generally. Yet gradually, they learn to trust each other and watch each others' backs. Rachel will make a surprising discovery about herself; Jill will find herself leaving her grieving zone.
The title is from the song written by Gerry Rafferty. The version I've been listening to is by Lucius.

Summary
Serena completes complex trauma surgery with the help of a mysterious consultant. A consultant that no one else heard or saw in theatre. Who is this mysterious stranger?
Written for the Berena Halloween Monster Mash 2018 challenge!
To convince you to read this story, here is what some famous Holby consultants have said about it:
Hanssen: “I would advise against reading this. I would prefer that you didn’t read fiction in the workplace.”
Gaskell: “I thought there was room for a few more character deaths in this story.”
Jac: “This story did nothing for me. I don’t have a soul. ”
Ric: “This story reminds me of my fourth wife. That’s all I want to say about it.”
Bernie: “As romances go, it is a bit of a non-starter.”
Serena: “Yeah, it’s not exactly Mills & Boon is it?”
Also Serena: “I can’t stand romances in the workplace.”
Also Bernie: *leans against something*
The universe: *makes sudden and complete sense*Well, well! After those ringing endorsements... what are you waiting for?!

Summary
Miss Berenice Wolfe is thought quite the beauty, and her father, the Colonel, is one of the wealthiest gentlemen in the county. Yet she approaches five and twenty unwed and unapproachable. Her habits are eccentric and her mother despairs of her ever making a good match, much to the frustration of her sisters, who must wait their turn.
Into Holby society comes Mrs McKinnie and her high spirited daughter Serena. They have lately removed from Brighton, where misfortune hounded her husband to his death. But what manner of misfortune, Serena cannot say. All too soon though, it will hound her, too.
