Moira Quirk is a British-American actress and audiobook narrator best known for her hosting role on the Nickelodeon game show Figure It Out. Her narration career has earned her particular acclaim for voicing Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb trilogy — Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, and Nona the Ninth — a science fantasy series that blends necromancy, space opera, and literary experimentation in a style unlike anything else in contemporary fiction. Quirk's narration of Gideon the Ninth is widely credited with helping launch the series to wider attention, capturing the protagonist's wisecracking, sword-swinging irreverence alongside the genuine emotional depth that underlies the humor. Her work on Harrow the Ninth, with its fragmented, unreliable narrative structure, demonstrates considerable technical skill. She also narrated Emily Lloyd-Jones' The Bone Houses and Elizabeth Hoyt's Princes Trilogy. Quirk's range — from sarcastic genre-busting space fantasy to historical romance — marks her as a narrator of unusual versatility.
