Archetypal female in detox -- loner, right? Sadly (3,4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
the girl next door
'archetypal female' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'detox loner right? sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'detox'+'loner'+'right'='detoxlonerright'
'detoxlonerright' anagrammed gives 'THE GIRL NEXT-DOOR'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
