The novels of the American writer have a similar plot. “Necklace” is a series of works by Kat Martin. The standard plot of these books can be conveyed as follows: a man insults a woman with his distrust and suspicions of treason, but after all doubts are dispelled, he begs forgiveness.

The first book from the aforementioned series tells about jewelry, which for many years (or centuries) was inherited. Of the representatives of the ancient aristocratic family, which owned an unusual necklace, only two young women remained - Claire and Victoria. The latter suffered from the obsessive attention of her stepfather.
Victoria, like most of the heroines of the novels Martin, belongs to an old noble family. But for unknown reasons, the girl prefers to hide her origin. In addition, Victoria dreams of finding a mother's diary. To do this, she sneaks along with her friend on an unfamiliar ship.
The girls also manage to get maids in the house of a wealthy aristocrat. For what purpose they take such a strange step, remains a mystery. But thanks to this plot twist, the life of the heroines is now filled with fascinating adventures, intrigues and unexpected events. Needless to say, a wealthy aristocrat instantly falls in love with the main character?
