Her novels are set in Mexico and feature characters who suffer from a sense of isolation, according to Jane S. Bakerman in Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers. Bakerman describes Blanc as "a good writer whose canon, though slender, is strong."^[2] Of The Green Stone, Kirkus Reviews said, "Atmosphere, incidents and personalities persuasively combined."^[3]
