I had a similar question from a patron. These three men all died on the
same day. I am not sure if Marilyn Monroe plays a part.

A patron is looking for a novel that came out around
1986-89 about JFK in heaven. The only thing he
remembers is that Marilyn Monroe also had a big part
in it - he didn't remember if they had a relationship
in the book, but she was a big part of the story. It
was kind of a fantasy, he said.

Could it be
Between heaven & hell :
a dialog somewhere beyond death with John F. Kennedy, C.S. Lewis &
Aldous
Huxley /
by Peter Kreeft?

Mayer's novel I, JFK is structured as former president John F. Kennedy's
memoirs as fashioned by him after his death. In his ironic autobiography,
Kennedy resolves many of his life's intriguing issues, including both his
assassination and his various extramarital affairs. In addition, the book
depicts Kennedy bantering with other deceased public figures, including
brother Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and J. Edgar Hoover.

From Library Journal
The author of Superfolks (LJ 3/15/77) has written a wildly inventive, outrageous, even blasphemous confession, supposedly created in the hereafter by John F. Kennedy. It is 25 years after JFK's death and almost time for him to move to the next tier, so he decides to write his memoirs or confession and set the record straight. In his present state he is surrounded by Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr., and Adlai Stevenson. Marilyn Monroe has already moved on; and Jimmy Hoffa, father Joe, and J. Edgar Hoover are in hell. JFK's versions of Marilyn's and his own death are probably no more ridiculous than what actually did happen. The author's impudence is mostly irresistible, but there are some farcical lapses that don't quite make it on the printed page--although they might on film. This could become very popular, and most readers won't be disappointed.
- Robert H. Donahugh, Youngstown and Mahoning Cty . P.L., Ohio
