Morris West se ve svých dílech zabýval hlubokými morálními dilematy a duchovními otázkami, často zasazenými do světa církve a politiky. Jeho styl je charakteristický napínavým dějem a pronikavým vhledem do lidské psychiky. West zkoumal střet víry a světských ambicí, zkoumal povahu moci a tajemství lidské duše. Jeho romány jsou poutavým zkoumáním cesty k vykoupení a odpuštění.
