Narrator, not omniscient, not unreliable, not protagonist

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.

(Made up example.)

Because of a new contract in the Azores and my ongoing divorce I lost sight of Betty and Jim during the revolution and only ran into them unexpectedly in a little bar in Torremolinos some time in the early spring.
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
