What reading level is Vineyard Blues book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to what I’d read, most victims in fires died not from flames but of suffocation, often while they slept, so maybe it was quicker and less painful than other deaths. Maybe the real horror of fire was experienced by those who survived the flames. I, at least, could imagine no more dismaying fate. My acrophobia and claustrophobia shrank to nothing by comparison. Better by far to fall or even smother to death than to be maimed by fire. My father’s life as a fireman in Somerville had never ...inspired me to follow in his professional footsteps; another career course, that of a policeman, had seemed a much safer one to me.Of course, policemen run risks, too, and my five years on the Boston PD had ended abruptly in the shooting that had left me with a bullet that still snuggled against my spine. But somehow even now, years later, being shot didn’t seem nearly as frightening as being burned to death.Zee and I listened to the radio for details but got few: a fire, the body of a person whose identity was being withheld until relatives could be informed, the building a total loss.I poured Zee’s coffee and she looked up at me and said, “You say the sirens sounded like they were headed toward the house where Corrie was staying.”I thought that’s what the scanner had said.
