Brian Moore sa preslávil svojím rozsiahlym dielom, ktoré často skúma témy identity, viery a odcizenia. Jeho romány, plynulo sa pohybujúce medzi realizmom, históriou a náznakmi fantázie, zachytávajú zložitosť ľudskej psychiky.

Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom a jedinečným štýlom.

"Eileen Hughes, twenty years old and never before out of Northern Ireland, has arrived in London for a week's holiday with Bernard and Mona McAuley, who are not only her employers but also, she believes, her friends.
