They're certainly formulaic, just as the "Perry Mason" books are, too, to name one other example, but that's their appeal to many: you know exactly what you're getting. That's the appeal of "cozy mysteries" to many people. Safe reading that you know you're going to enjoy.
(Only one "m" in "Hamish", btw
)
