Jaws by Peter Benchley:
The first part documents the origin of sharks in prehistoric times, in a James A Michener stylee. Then we get the generational story of the Brodys and their struggles with sharks, starting with Martin's grandfather, set adrift in a rowboat when a shark destroyed his whaler in the 1880s.

Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris reframed to be told in first person by Buffalo Bill, starting with his birth and early childhood, up to the events of the novel.

A lot of final novels in a series fall prey to this. J.K. Rowling clearly stretched for page length in Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows. There are pages and pages of not much happening.
I know it's probably a cliché to rip on him at this point, but Stephen King has been having this problem.
I've heard White Jazz was an L.A. Confidential sized novel and James Ellroy was asked to cut as much as he could to make it shorter.
