Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations.

Green is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. "I only found out afterward that some people were a little upset with it because they don't want to hear about women competing with the master", Higgins said. In a discussion of women writers of detective fiction, scholar Ellen Higgins in 1994 chronicled the work of Green as popularizing the genre a decade before Arthur Conan Doyle brought out his first Sherlock Holmes story. Though Green's book The Leavenworth Case is frequently cited as the first mystery written by an American woman, The Dead Letter by Seeley Regester was published earlier (1866). Green died on April 11, 1935, in Buffalo, New York, at the age of 88. Her daughter Rosamund married Robert Twitty Palmer.
Together they had one daughter and two sons: Rosamund Rohlfs, Roland Rohlfs, and Sterling Rohlfs. After his theater career faltered, he became a furniture maker in 1897, and Green collaborated with him on some of his designs. Rohlfs toured in a dramatization of Green's The Leavenworth Case. On November 25, 1884, Green married the actor and stove designer, and later noted furniture maker, Charles Rohlfs (1853 – 1936). She became a bestselling author, eventually publishing about 40 books. When her poetry failed to gain recognition, she produced her first and best known novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878), praised by Wilkie Collins, and the hit of the year. She had an early ambition to write romantic verse and corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson. Green was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 11, 1846.
