A young boy is eaten alive by the shark. It's quite graphic and we get the boy's perspective and thoughts as he is being attacked.

A few main characters sadly die towards the end but the mood of the ending is a sort of solemn triumph after defeating the shark.

Not jokes, but in chapter three an overweight man is depicted in a somewhat disgusting way, by consuming large amounts of unhealthy foods, others berating him about his diet and very much making his key character trait this 'personal flaw' of eating too much. As the only fat character in the book so far, the harsh judgement of this man is striking.
Update: The only other fat characters mentioned are gawkers who want to see the shark and are disappointed when a boy isn't eaten in front of them. There are no 'good' fat characters.

A subplot involves a married person cheating. We get their perspective during the initial flirting and sex, and later swap to the suspicious spouse's perspective.

In the first two chapters there are two references to rape, one where a character is reading a book about a woman who is almost raped and the second is cops talking about rapists. It's not dragged out, but it's certainly unsettling - at least for me. In chapter three there's again references to a rapist, with the police taking actions to cover it up so as to keep tourists visiting. [Chapter 8] Ellen recounts a sexual fantasy where she's raped. She goes into detail and talks about how it arouses her and how she thinks other women also have this fantasy. Considering the previous references to rape, it feels like a disturbing male sexual fantasy - that all rape survivors secretly enjoy and even orgasm during their attacks. There's no nuance and it could be incredibly upsetting to readers.

During the dinner party Brody gets drunk and constantly insults Ellen in front of their guests, eventually causing her to cry. In chapter 13 Brody thinks about beating Ellen but decides not to as it "won't do any good".

Brody is treated by the narrative as our hero who claims to care about public safety above all else - and only fails in that mission when mean government men threaten to sack him - but in reality he covered up serial rapes without protesting, got drunkenly abusive towards his wife at a dinner party, and begrudgingly covers up the first shark victim's death. The novel ends with him being lauded as a hero in the town's paper, his wife realising that she's lucky to have him, and ultimately his survival.
