Mrs. Plansky's Revenge by Spencer Quin
Spencer Quin is better known for writing the Chet and Bernie stories set in Arizona narrated by a dog with short term memory issues. This is a stand alone about an elderly widower living a sad life who suffers the ultimate indignity when she is scammed of all her life savings. She decides to do something about so she travels to the town of the fraudsters and deals with them.
It's an Amuse-bouche of a story, slighter than slight. Plansky's life is filled with people all trying to take her money. She's got memory issues. She talks to her dead husband. And the problems keep piling up. The cybercrime is just one more indignity.
But Plansky doesn't get a lot of her misfortune. She stumbles her way through the mystery, relying on the kindness of strangers. At the end of the mystery, she seems to be back in the same spot from where she started.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
