Only on Tuesdays is the eighth book in the nine book series of Peter Schofield novels published between 1957 and 1965. It is a fun and fast read that probably does not encompass more than a couple of hours of reading. There's nothing complex about this book. It's simply fun paperback original to read.
In the series Schofield runs a one man PI office and cases seem to have a way of dropping in on him. sometimes clients find their way to him in unusual ways. This case is no exception to the pattern. in fact, here, a client shows up at his house with a gun. After some harrowing moments where a gun is pointed at his wife, Schofield agrees to take the case --sort of. Eventually the case involves gunfire, possible kidnapping, blackmail, murder, danger on the high seas, a femme fatale the tiniest bikini imaginable, a simpleminded blonde, a secret marriage, and lots and lots of trouble -- And more.
One of the more unusual aspects of this PI series is that Schofield is happily married to Jeannie, a stunning redheaded San Fernando Valley housewife whose provocative figure always supplies a distraction to Schofield and who always is wiggling in or out of something.
Overall, it is a fun read that will easily keep you entertained.

Solid mystery with a nice main character but still felt a little off to me. Not sure why, might just be the voice and style of the writer cause really everything was good just didn't get into it as much as I do other stuff of the genre.
Though with my reservations I would try another from the author even this series. Would also recommend for fans of the mystery noir genre.
