Detectives Finch and Elias have seen a lot -- murders, assaults, rapes, missing persons -- but they've never investigated a missing mummy before. Follow the two partners in this novella as they sift through a half dozen different suspects and try to solve the mystery of a stolen mummy from the River City museum.
Part whodunit mystery, part procedural, with more than a little wise-cracking along the way, THE BASTARD MUMMY has a little something for all kinds of mystery readers.
(This novella is also included in the short story collection, DEAD EVEN, which contains several other Finch and Elias stories).

Overall this short is a fair introduction to author ability. The dialogue is a bit juvenille and the premise is unique only in what is stolen - the rest is pretty cliche'. That is not necessarily bad, but the devices and resolution were pretty contrived and very predictible.Two detectives need solve a crime at a local museum before the FBI or another agency arrive to steal the thunder and create a great deal of negative publicity for the community. They have a routine questioning of a few suspects and solve the crime without any twists or surprises for the reader. However, the thoroughness of the investigators lends credibility that the author could carry a full novel length premise and do more justice to building suspense and mystery to it.
Fairly well edited. I will try a longer work by author and see what happens.

The Bastard Mummy edition by Frank Zafiro Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
My husband and I read this aloud one evening. It was a good story. We stopped several times to talk about "who done it" and only figured it out when the last clue was played out, just before the detective. It was well written we look forward to reading other stories by this author.
This is short and fast. But has many typos. Too bad the author didn't proofread their own short story before they published.
Still, not bad if free. It is solved pretty fast.
Happy reading!
The story felt weak and a bit phoned-in.
You've got your cookie-cutter detectives solving an unusual, but not very interesting, crime. The story lacks the descriptions (What do the detectives look like? How old are they?) that would allow you to really get into the story and the characters aren't really developed. The mystery is solved easily. All in all, I was disappointed.
Funny little short story, nice writing style, not alot of depth in the content but I did enjoy the banter between the detectives. I haven't read any of his novels but I think with his style of writing a novel could have been developed into a deeper more satisfying read. A nice break in your daily routine, a short read.
Like another reviewer, I haven't read any of the River City novels, but I do wish this had been one. I enjoyed the detective characters, but would have liked more development and more mystery, but this was a short story, so that is the nature of the animal. This was a light and quick read, and probably a good introduction to the series. Based on my experience with this short story, I will try one of the novels, which is undoubtedly the point.
The Bastard Mummy is a fun little tale surrounding a theft at a museum. The museum in question is having problems with its reputation as it is not a big budget institution. The theft of a child mummy could spell disaster for the struggling museum and the hope is that local law enforcement can figure out the riddle before the 'big guns' are called in and therefore more publicity be given to the situation.
The mystery is solved with humor and we get to meet some interesting characters along the way.
~The two main characters, Finch and Elias, are what made this an enjoyable story to read. The banter between them is outstanding!
~It is a short story, so it can be finished in one evening. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, quick story to read in-between two longer full length books.
Overall this short is a fair introduction to author ability. The dialogue is a bit juvenille and the premise is unique only in what is stolen - the rest is pretty cliche'. That is not necessarily bad, but the devices and resolution were pretty contrived and very predictible.
