Kobo shows me some of these books in a series called "Inspector Ian Rutledge" and others in a series called "Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries." There are other series that are the same way, which is very frustrating.
Is there any sort of communication path with Kobo to send them corrections? Or a way to correct these myself? I am a Calibre user but because I have an old Mac that can't run anything past OS Sierra, I can't use the latest version of it. And I have not imported my Kobo books into Calibre in the past.

The inconsistencies in series names has always bugged me. Every time I get a new book, I immediately add it to Calibre, and correct the series title to whatever it is I'm using (and anything else that may be off or missing), and then send it to my reader.
Sorting by series on the Kobo readers has been a part of Calibre for as long as I can remember. So you should be fine using whatever the last supported version of Calibre will run on your OS so you can rename your series easily. It doesn't need to be the most current. The KoboUtilities plugin will handle the new series sorting perfectly, many of us have already made use of it before Calibre has added the feature in probably today's update.
