Suspects include a mysterious magician staying at the castle, a marine biologist who needs to leave the area suddenly, and the construction foreman who allegedly knows nothing about the tunnel found at the building site of the aquarium. After scuba diving, Dink gets a clue as to how the gold has been hidden in front of everyone's eyes, and he quickly leads his friends to the marine biologist's boat while waiting for help to arrive.

The Yellow Yacht (A to Z Mysteries Series #25)
This was the third book we've read in this series after The Missing Mummy and The Absent Author. While my boys really enjoyed the first two, this one was either to old for them (5 and 3) or not as interesting. There were a lot of terms we needed to explain in this book, mostly nautical like "yacht," "dinghy," "foresail," "bow," and others related the fictional country this took place in. There were also about four suspects for a gold theft which were too many for our kids to keep track of.
As adults, I didn't find this one particularly satisfying either. It takes a few chapters before any theft happens, and even when it does we don't have a lot of experience where it's taking place so it's hard to figure out any clues. The big reveal in this book for who stole the gold doesn't come until the end of chapter 8, and there weren't really any good clues for the kids to figure it out ahead of then. Whereas most of these books we've gotten through in about 5 days, this one took us a few weeks to get the patience to sit through. Maybe they'll like it better when they're older.
