Her books are noted for their accurate depiction of the American legal process - she was the daughter of a criminal lawyer.
Her father was a noted lawyer, and she was present at gatherings of his friends, who were lawyers, judges, and police, when they discussed details of cases.

Her 1878 novel, The Leavenworth Case, sold 750,000 copies over the next 15 years, and was used by Yale University to demonstrate the fallacy of circumstantial evidence.
