Goodreads keeps series information in two places. One is the dedicated series field, and the other is in the title of the book itself.If Rivers of London is the official series name, then the book titles can be edited to reflect that.
Hi Scott, thank you for answering.I have done some research, and the U.K. publisher (Gollancz) gives the series name as “Rivers of London”.

Given that the editions I have are all the U.K. / Gollancz publications, I believe the series name should be “Rivers of London” for all of them.
Who do I need to ask to have this detailed fixed, please?
The erroneous editions are as follows:
1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
3) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
4) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
5) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Edit this thread from Questions to Series. Someone will volunteer to work on correcting the mislabeled titles.
Thank you, Elizabeth. Hopefully some kind soul will be able to help me now. :)
Titles for #1 in Series have been changed where required.Titles for #2 in Series have been changed where required.
Thank you for trying. Unfortunately, the problem is still there.The titles continue to appear as:
Rivers of London (Peter Grant, #1)
Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London, #2)
Whispers Under Ground (Rivers of London, #3)
Foxglove Summer (Peter Grant, #5)
Broken Homes (Peter Grant, #4)
The Hanging Tree (Peter Grant, #6)
Lies Sleeping (Peter Grant, #7)
False Value (Rivers of London #8)

You are listing titles that haven't been addressed. I did seem to have missed a couple of the first in the series and have fixed those.
Corrected the series name in the title field for the editions of book #4-7 on your shelf, according to the cover.
Thank you so much to all of you! It’s all fixed now. I really appreciate it!
Not fixed. All of the other editions also need fixing.
Titles for #3 in the series have been changed where required.
I am currently reading a book series called “Rivers of London”, which some people also call “Peter Grant”. The editions that I am reading all appear to be listed as “Rivers of London #1-8” on their respective book pages (in both the grey series title and the field marked “Series” in the Details section).
However, when I view these books from my own profile, some are listed as “Rivers of London” and others are called “Peter Grant”. It looks very messy, and makes no sense to me, given that they are all named consistently on their respective book pages. Does anyone know why this is happening? Would it be possible to fix it please?
I’ve made a shelf list of the books showing the inconsistent series naming to hopefully demonstrate the issue:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Rivers of London (Peter Grant, #1)
Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London, #2)
Whispers Under Ground (Rivers of London, #3)
Foxglove Summer (Peter Grant, #5)
Broken Homes (Peter Grant, #4)
The Hanging Tree (Peter Grant, #6)
Lies Sleeping (Peter Grant, #7)
False Value (Rivers of London #8)
In my opinion, they should all be listed as “Rivers of London”.
Thank you.
