We are delighted to reveal the cover for Four and Twenty Blackbirds, the first book in Susan Dennard's Murder Quartet.

Riverdale meets Twin Peaks in this romantic supernatural horror mystery set on a winter island in 1997, from New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard. The cover is illustrated by Micaela Alcaino and designed by Jane Tibbetts, and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Wren Peters is not supposed to be interested in Archer Sullivan. He’s the enemy, and the electric kiss they shared in the basement of the Historical Society while a blizzard blustered outside? Nope, didn’t happen.

Same thing regarding Wren’s dream of that guy who wound up murdered: didn’t happen. Sure, supernatural stuff is common on Blackbird Island—if you believe in it. But Wren refuses to believe in it, so that solves that.

Unfortunately, family rivalries and murder won’t let Wren off so easily. After her grandfather and Archer’s great aunt go missing, she finds herself pulled into a twisty web of hauntings and history, of money trails and real estate, or rivalries with roots that aren’t all they seem, and a hot Sullivan who’s so much more than he seems…

Plus, don’t forget the freaky visions she can’t control. So now if Wren doesn’t start believing—and start listening to what the visions are trying to tell her—then more people are going to end up dead. Including herself.

Four and Twenty Blackbirds will release in paperback and ebook on 26 January 2027. Preorder your copy here.
