Query: Disappointing

This plot had enormous potential, a returning war hero, a strong willed, intelligent heroine and family secrets. The characters themselves were the disappointment. A man of honor would not, under any circumstances pass himself off as his dead friend. Gideon performed acts of heroism, but the descriptions of him weren't sufficient to convince me that I needed to cheer for him. Daintry, the heroine, was her era's feminist, but lacked the common sense to recognize some potentially dangerous situations or curb her willful niece. The secret was a tiresome thread through the story. The dialogue relied on phrases/terms that after a while became annoying, especially "dash." Too bad the characters weren't more likable.
