Crooked husband peers at list of his convictions? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
rap sheet
'list of his convictions?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'crooked husband peers at' is the wordplay.
'crooked' is an anagram indicator (a crooked or disrupted version of the letters).
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'h'+'peers'+'at'='hpeersat'
'hpeersat' anagrammed gives 'RAP SHEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rap sheet that I've seen before include "'Written record of charges (3,5)'" , "Where to find previous" , "record of arrests" , "Criminal record, colloquially" .)
