Ruth Rendell: Adam and Eve and Pinch and Me (UK 2002)

From the Publisher:
Minty is a sub-editor on a local paper. For long periods of her life, Minty has seen ghosts. Now they have returned, and Minty is in a state of constant terror. She is also a neatness fanatic, and when Jock comes to live in her immaculate flat, she begins to feel her life is no longer her own. Jock is a philanderer, a bigamist and a con man. He has married Zillah for her money, and is about to marry Fiona, a rich widow. He also has a relationship with Susan, whose husband is a Member of Parliament. When Jock is found stabbed to death, there are several suspects. It falls to Susan's son, Jerry, a youth with an overactive imagination, to try to solve the mystery of who killed Jock.
