I am pretty sure there was something to do with a crow. I don't know if it was in the title, description, or cover though. I'm sorry I can't give more info like I said I only read the description of the book so I'm giving you the best that I can remember.

I'm guessing it was historical fiction, based on the bubonic plague aspect? Or was it modern / dystopian, etc? Was it a new release at the time you saw it, do you think?

The Plague Stones
- crow on cover
“Fleeing from a traumatic break-in, Londoners Paul and Tricia Feenan sell up to escape to the isolated Holiwell village where Tricia has inherited a property. Scattered throughout the settlement are centuries-old stones used during the Great Plague as boundary markers. No plague-sufferer was permitted to pass them and enter the village. The plague diminished, and the village survived unscathed, but since then each year the village trustees have insisted on an ancient ceremony to renew the village boundaries, until a misguided act by the Feenans' son then reminds the village that there is a reason traditions have been rigidly stuck to, and that all acts of betrayal, even those committed centuries ago, have consequences...”

could it be Year of Wonders ? by Geraldine Brooks ? it's based on the real life town that shut themselves off from the rest of the world because they had the plague and it's told from the perspective of this one woman Survivor who works for the Parish Church.
