There is nothing wrong with your answer, it is, in fact, the given solution.

As to the difficulty of the problem, you would have to take that up with 
Reinfield who claimed the problems in his book 'Win at Chess' were presented in 
a progressively difficult manner.

I don't see the difficulty with this.

What is wrong with simply 1. Qxf8+ Qxf8 2. Rxh7 mate?

This is a rather easy puzzle.
