It depends on what you mean by mysteries?

There are a lot of books on Wesir (the Kemetic name for Osiris), and on his stories and rites.
Yet others might point out that the deepest Mysteries are not in books, but in experiences that one has while communing with the Gods and listening to their will.

It varies in terms of path, specific tradition and even practitioner. ;)

I mean the traditional Osirian mysteries mentioned by Greek historians.

Im not talking about Wicca or ecclectics, im talking about the pure real egyptian religion. (its Kemetic right?)

That's why I asked. What the Greek historians meant by the Osirian Mysteries was different from what a Kemetic thought about Wesir. The Greeks re-interpreted the roles of the Kemetic Gods.

And even within different Kemetic groups you'll encounter different visions of the Gods.
But now that i have a better idea of what you're looking for:

Normandi Ellis - Awakening Osiris
Osiris: Death and Afterlife of a God by Bojana Mojsov
Reflections of Osiris: Lives from Ancient Egypt by John Ray

http://www.philae.nu/akhet/APassionPlays.html

http://www.wesir.org/
http://www.asetnet.net/mythmysteries.html

Those should be a place to start.
If you need anything else, feel free to ask. :)

Wow thanks the http://www.wesir.org/ link really helped. and it has a section called "Modern passages of Wesir (coming soon)" hopefully this part in particular will help a lot more when it comes.

I'll be sure to pass that onto the owner of wesir.org - she's a friend. I'm not sure when she's going to be able to take care of that section, but I'll be sure to pass on that you're looking forward to it.
