Tim Vicary verfasst fesselnde Justizthriller, die oft mit den Werken von John Grisham und Scott Turow verglichen werden und eine resolute britische Anwältin in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Seine Erzählungen sind bekannt für ihre komplexen Handlungsstränge und spannungsgeladenen Auflösungen, die den Leser bis zur letzten Seite fesseln. Neben seinen Justizdramen widmet sich Vicary auch der historischen Fiktion und erforscht packende Erzählungen, die Licht auf bedeutende, oft übersehene historische Perioden und die menschlichen Erfahrungen darin werfen. Sein Schreibstil zeichnet sich durch eine flüssige Sprache aus, die den Leser in das sich entfaltende Drama eintauchen lässt.
