Tim Vicary schrijft meeslepende juridische thrillers, die vaak worden vergeleken met het werk van John Grisham en Scott Turow, met een formidabele Britse advocate in de hoofdrol. Zijn verhalen staan bekend om hun ingewikkelde plots en spannende ontknopingen die de lezer op het puntje van zijn stoel houden. Naast zijn juridische drama's verdiept Vicary zich ook in historische fictie, waarbij hij boeiende verhalen verkent die licht werpen op belangrijke, vaak over het hoofd geziene historische perioden en de menselijke ervaringen daarin. Zijn schrijfstijl wordt gekenmerkt door een vloeiende proza die de lezer onderdompelt in het zich ontvouwende drama.
