The answer is

The Hound of the Baskervilles

Warlord 099's answer took me almost the whole way there. It suggests to:

fill in partial words like B***KF*** into words like BREAKFAST, then find them in the grid with a set of substitutions. For example, it becomes BDSOKFOEC, a string found backwards in the top row of the words search, with the substitutions D<->R, S<->E, O<->A. C<->T. Presumably, Warlord 099 found these by looking for snippets in the word search and finding consistent substitutions.

From there, I simply

Googled the words.

This led me to

The first paragraph of The Hounds of Baskerville, a story featuring Sherlock Holmes, which contains these words.

As confirmation as to the answer

the first chapter contains references to meeting at Waterloo Station.

I feel like I disregarded some information in my solution, so I'm curious if this is how it was intended to be solved.
