After the success of “Old Flames” and The Scarlet Empress, Paul Magrs closes More Short Trips with “Femme Fatale”, an adventure for the Doctor, Sam, and Iris meeting Andy Warhol.  Oddly enough this is one of the ‘weaker’ Magrs stories, it lacks a lot of the depth that his novels do.  It is just as fun as “Old Flames”, if not slightly more so with the 1930s and 1960s period settings and the use of Andy Warhol as a character, though not by much as while Magrs is certainly one of the better writers when it comes to the use of Sam Jones, she is still Sam Jones.  This is also a story about the assassination attempt on Warhol by Valerie Solanis which has the typical Magrs twist, though I’m not entirely sure on how much I like the way it’s presented here, it reeks of an inexperienced writer not quite thinking through the implications.  “Femme Fatale” is still a great little story because Paul Magrs is almost incapable of doing a bad story.  7/10.

fun story! give it a read if you like Paul Magrs and Eight-Sam-Iris team, cause I definitely do ;)
