Visiting female suspect I accuse, those people brave hostile reception (4,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
face the music
'brave hostile reception' is the definition.
'face the music' can be an answer for 'brave' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'hostile reception' bit.
'visiting female suspect i accuse those people' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'female' could be 'f' (common abbreviation) and 'f' is found within the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'those' could be 'them' and 'them' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for face the music that I've seen before include "Take responsibility" , "Brave a hostile situation" , "Pianist will usually" , "brave a trying situation" , "Confront nasty consequences" .)
