Why was I not told?

I think this possibly fits in with the general pattern of 'Kobo's recommendation algorithm is totally bewildering' - and tends not to flag up forthcoming works by authors I have form for purchasing, how annoying is that? - even more annoying than recommending works that they know perfectly well I have already bought from them, because when I click on the link, just in case I was mistaken and I acquired it by some other means, the system cops to the fact that I have already got that.
(And do not get me started on, the desktop interface is back to not downloading the books in my library yet again...)
(I will concede that anytime I look at Amazon Recommendations they are even more WTF, and honestly, who or what, if anything, is responsible for classifying works by category?)
But, anyway, to get to my point, I discovered only by reading an interview in today's Guardian Saturday Review with Robin Stevens that not only is there a new Wells and Wong Murder Most Unladylike book forthcoming but it is out next week?
This doesn't appear to have been flagged up as forthcoming by Goodreads, either.
Huh. Maybe I just haven't been following in the right places, but really.
