I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'casebook?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'doctor to unwind absorbing hospital' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'absorbing' indicates putting letters inside.
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'to'+'unwind'='tounwind'
'tounwind' anagrammed gives 'wodunnit'.
'wodunnit' placed around 'h' is 'WHODUNNIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?
