One of the two main characters in *Lullaby* by Chuck Palahniuk is an old lady … Unsure whether she’s actually a grandmother though. Wonderful dark humour mixed low-key horror and low-key thrills.

Also not action, more family history, is [The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3407877-the-forgotten-garden). [My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Frederic Backman](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23604559-my-grandmother-asked-me-to-tell-you-she-s-sorry) is a humorous fantasy.
In Mother Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon, three generations of women team up to solve a murder. The grandma plays a big role!
Six Weeks To Live by Catherine McKenzie is also a thriller with an older MC.
