What reading level is The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Leslie Ragostin, Scientific Perditorian—my employer.
I jest. Dr. Ragostin was fictitious, my invention so that I should have the opportunity to search for missing things and persons. All the next day, at work as Miss Meshle, the great man’s secretary, I puzzled over Mrs. Tupper’s problem: how to deal with the sender of her mysteriously threatening letter?
As was my custom, I first sat at my desk and composed a list of questions:Why “carrier pigeon”? Because she was going home? Are a carrier pige...on and a homing pigeon the same? To call a person a pigeon is a very odd term of insult. The Americans say “stool pigeon” of an informer. Is, call him X, an American? “Bird-brained” rather than “harebrained” also an Americanism? What message? From whom? To whom? How does it concern X? Does he wish to receive it, intercept it, destroy it? How has he fixed on Mrs. Tupper? Was he in Scutari with her?
Unhelpful, overall. I did not really feel that the threatening letter had come from an American.
