Tim Vicary crea avvincenti thriller legali, spesso paragonati alle opere di John Grisham e Scott Turow, con al centro un'abile avvocatessa britannica. Le sue narrazioni sono rinomate per le trame intricate e le risoluzioni cariche di suspense che tengono il lettore con il fiato sospeso. Oltre ai suoi drammi legali, Vicary si dedica anche alla narrativa storica, esplorando storie avvincenti che mettono in luce periodi storici significativi e spesso trascurati, nonché le esperienze umane al loro interno. Il suo stile di scrittura è caratterizzato da una prosa fluida che immerge il lettore nel dramma che si dispiega.
