I've found myself stumbling recently and identified it is often when the POV shifts. I read widely and enjoy many genres, Lit Fic, Satire, SF, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Mystery. I don't really enjoy near future SF, I very rarely enjoy Romance, and when I do it is usually when it has a social satire aspect to it. I'm wary of Horror because I'm a total fraidy cat but Shirley Jackson is one of my favourite authors. I do not enjoy gore for gores sake, like the Saw movie franchise type gore.
Some favourites.
The Dutch House – Anne Pratchett
The Goblin Emperor – Kate Addison
Murderbot Diaries – Martha Wells
Actress – Anne Enright
The Twyford Code – Janice Hallett (There is a change in POV at the end but the vast majority is the MC)
I who have never known men – Jacqueline Harpman
Listen for the Lie – Amy Tintera
Translation State – Anne Leckie (Multi-pov but there is always an exception to the rule)

After All These Years by Susan Isaacs.
Most books don’t have shifts in POV…
