Done reading mystery (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

closed book

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

'mystery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'done reading' is the wordplay.
'done' becomes 'closed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'reading' becomes 'book'.
'closed'+'book'='CLOSED BOOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for closed book that I've seen before include "Mystery person" , "What loss-making turf accountant did" , "Subject about which one knows nothing" , "Enigma" , "Took no more bets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
