I enjoyed reading -Mayhem at Maple Crescent-You wrote it well, I was disappointed when I got the end, wanting to know more about the story. Good job!

    Hmmm, well, as to the rest of the story - you'll have to ask someone else, I don't know! Thanks for your very much appreciated comments :)

This really held my attention except for the SPAG which can interrupt flow.
I tried to edit for you, in order of occurrence, some of the things that jumped out at me.
pajama

area of his skin instead of flesh.

children's toys
'Electrocution Barbie'

room, the complete set of Sesame...
personally; decent...folk.

post-par tum depression
radio in an APB - take out the word for

    Thanks so much for reviewing my story, and for your helpful comments. I've implemented some, but not all of the changes you suggested. I do appreciate all assistance:

    pajama - pyjama is the accepted spelling in my country. I could change it to suit a largely US audience, but then I'd have to change other things - such as "organisation" to "organization" etc.

    area of his skin instead of flesh. - I originally had skin, then changed it. It's now back to skin.

    children's toys - corrected, thank you.
    'Electrocution Barbie' - corrected, thank you.

    room, the complete set of Sesame... corrected
    personally; decent...folk. - I haven't changed this as I've already used the word decent at the beginning of the sentence. I'm hoping not too many are offended (after all, it turns out they've done nothing wrong).

    post-par tum depression - as far as I know, these are synonyms?

    radio in an APB - take out the word for - corrected, thanks

    Again, thanks for your comments, and the rating, which are both much appreciated.

    I always forget many writers are from England. Your points are well taken.

    Have a great evening
