Müller anajulikana kwa kazi zake zilizoonyesha madhara ya ukandamizaji na unyama hasa wakati wa Jamhuri ya Kisoshalisti ya Romania chini ya uongozi wa kidikteta wa Nicolae Ceaușescu. Kazi zake nyingi ziliandikwa kwa mtazamo wa Wajerumani wa Romania na pia kuhusu historia ya sasa ya Wajerumani wanaoishi Banat na Transylvania. Kitabu chake maarufu cha mwaka 2009 The Hunger Angel (Atemschaukel) kinazungumzia kufukuzwa kwa Wajerumani toka Romania kwenda kwenye jela za kazi ngumu Urusi wakati Urusi ilipoitawala Romani.
