Here is Spencer Quinn’s Mrs. Plansky’s Revenge, which is the story of a 70-ish year old widow who gets caught up in a phone scam. The villains drain all of her bank accounts, like phone scammers do, and think they have hit the jackpot. Unfortunately (for them), Mrs. Plansky has recently had a hip replaced, and she is ready to rumble for justice. It’s sort of a Thursday Murder Club meets An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good, which is to say a delightful tale of why you should never turn your back on the elderly.
