I get where you are coming from, and in some ways they annoy me as they are often trite and the denouement sometimes ridiculous, but as HarryT said, you know what you are getting, and there's just enough in the character of Hamish to keep me reading. I also use them as "pallet cleansers" - a quick easy read when I'm not sure what I want to move on to next.
