I suoi romanzi sono spesso descritti come inquietanti e acuti, indagando gli angoli più oscuri della vita domestica e delle dinamiche interpersonali. McWilliam eccelle nel suo distintivo tocco stilistico e nella sua capacità di creare personaggi intricati i cui mondi interiori risuonano con i lettori.
