It was then passed on through the descendants of Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, making it's way to Mr Murphy's wife. With the help of her father, Hero discovers that the necklace belonged to Anne Boleyn. The other mystery is the lineage of the necklace that the diamond belongs to, a necklace that Mrs Roth has in her possession. The Murphy Diamond is as the center of the two biggest mysteries of the book, one which involves the characters in the story, a sick wife, a runaway daughter and an absentee mom.
At her mother's insistence, Hero introduces herself to the family's older neighbor, Mrs Roth, and the two strike up a friendship over crossword puzzles, cinnamon toast and the Murphy Diamond, which might be hidden in the house Hero's family just moved into. However, because Shakespeare is her dad's "thing" Hero has never read the play. Hero and Beatrice's names are from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, the play her parents were studying when they met in a college English class. There are a mysteries intertwined with each story, some more compelling than others, but all intriguing and exciting to read. This story is almost equal parts real life girl story, family drama and historical drama.
