Query: What a waste of a good title

Why did the author even bother making this a Holmes story? If he wanted to write a Victorian Sci Fi/Fantasy story did he have to use Holmes and Watson as his protagonists? Fails to capture either the flavour of the original stories or the period. In addition the plot is convoluted and required an effort to stay interested. I did in the hope that it would get better towards the end but I felt cheated by the time I finished.
