Just bought this book, opened it up and tried a random puzzle. #2029 is a "mate in two", white to move. White queen on b8, white rook on h1, white king on e1, black king on c1. The solution says it starts with Qh2.
According to my computer, it's a mate in 3. Is this a typo? Does anyone have experience with this book? Are typos common?

Solution according to my computer:
1. Qh2 ...Kb1
2. Qd2 ...Ka1
3. Ke2# (Or Kf2#)
Thanks!
