Riddell's works were widely read during her time, and she frequently contributed to prominent periodicals. Her writing is often characterized by its atmospheric tension, subtle explorations of human nature, and social commentary. Riddell's best-known works include The Uninhabited House (1868), a gothic novel that delves into the mystery surrounding an abandoned mansion with a dark and eerie history.
