Puzzle Mistake?

If you go to uschess.org and look at their puzzle section, I would like to ask a question. Look at the Treehouse Problem at the very bottom of the page. It says mate in 3, but isn't it a mate in 2? As such: 1. Ne2+ Kh1 (or h2), 2. Qh4++. Am I missing something here?

😛 Oh, man. That's the second time in two days I've done that. I think I need a nap. Thanks for pointing this out.
