It was extremely heavy-handed. And I just don't think Doyle is that great of a writer. I'm not sure if he was paid by the word, since mostly people refer that fact to Dickens, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was. His short stories are better than his novels because his novels really only had enough plot for a short story, maybe a longish short story.
