What reading level is The Bedlam Detective book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
George’s Fields with its main gates and gardens facing the Lambeth Road. Columns and a long Georgian frontage gave it the look of some enormous Quaker meeting hall. As “Bedlam” the old place had become synonymous with chaos and disorder; in art and in the public mind, it was nothing less than a living hell upon Earth.The present-day truth was not quite so dramatic. Wards for the dangerously insane had been closed after the building of a state criminal lunatic asylum at Broadmoor, and most patien...ts in the Bethlem were now private admissions from among the educated middle classes. Standards were high. Some even believed that they were living in a hotel. The hospital’s governors were fighting a slow battle to separate Bethlem and Bedlam in the public mind.Sebastian’s avoidance of his basement office had little connection with the lunatics in residence. The “furious and mischievous, and those who have no regard to cleanliness” were now accommodated elsewhere. But the room made available to the Visitor’s man, as a favor to his employer, shook when trains passed under and stank when the heat came on.
