About this ebook
In this pivotal book in the Sammy Keyes series, Sammy tackles the persistent mysteries of her own life. Mysteries like: Who is her father? And why has her mother kept it such a secret? How long can she manage to hide out in Grams' seniors-only building before someone catches on? Is her mother really planning to marry her boyfriend's father? (Ew.) And why, why is Heather Acosta so nasty?
During one crazy weekend in Las Vegas, with the help of an entire army of Elvis impersonators, Sammy finally gets some answers. But of course knowledge comes at a price—and solving the mysteries of her own life will cost Sammy more than she ever meant to pay. . . .
The Sammy Keyes mysteries are fast-paced, funny, thoroughly modern, and true whodunits. Each mystery is exciting and dramatic, but it's the drama in Sammy's personal life that keeps readers coming back to see what happens next with her love interest Casey, her soap-star mother, and her mysterious father.

Reviews for Sammy Keyes and the Showdown in Sin City
13 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Less mystery and more adventure but I enjoyed it, and appreciated that it moved some of Sammys relationships forward.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This may be my new favorite volume in the series. No real "mystery" in the traditional sense, but a wonderful pay-off to a lot of the emotional themes and character dynamics in the series, and an ending that really shook up status quo in a way that I think will pay off for future books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was by far my favorite book in the series. It was not like the typical Sammy Keyes story line, but that didn't mean it wasn't amazing. I can tell this series is coming to a close as Wendelin Van Draanen begins to tie up loose ends. Five stars!
