A book where the story is told over and over but every time a different person becomes the main character and new details are added to the plot we already knew.
It seems a simple ideia, but I have never heard of any book like that
If you liked the book, “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card you will get this experience by reading, “Ender’s Shadow”

Robertson Davies did something like this in the Deptford Trilogy, each novel focuses on a different character, adding new information to the same story.

Dead Med by Freida McFadden does this pretty well.

If you like reading fantasy, check out the elder Empire series by Will Wight. It’s two trilogies. Each trilogy covers the same events and is written from an opposing perspective. Not a ton of POVs, but very well done. The often recommended reading order is read both book 1’s, then both 2’s, then both 3’s.

The Good Soldier – Ford Maddox Ford
It’s not exactly what you describe in that there is only one narrator, but I think it will scratch the same itch. It’s an awesome book and as you read, everything you thought you knew is continually cast in a new light.
