I'm thinking of books where the narrator drives things. I hate unreliable narrators; I think that's a cheap trick. But a narrator doesn't have to know everything and doesn't have to be the protagonist.

Two examples (out of probably many) that I can think of (no apologies):
"The Razor's Edge", W. Somerset Maugham
"The Drifters", James A. Michener
