THIS!
I have read a LOT of Victorian literature, and Doyle is particularly easy.
Whenever someone says Doyle's writing is difficult to understand, I think what they really mean is that they're unfamiliar with 100-year-old English and storytelling conventions.

This is the key, I think. ACD's story structure can be unfamiliar and, at times, off-putting - even to his fans. Not always, but sometimes - he is a bit keen on infodump and omniscient view flashbacks for many modern readers' taste. But it isn't about the prose as such, which at its best is vivid and memorable.
