Beyond Reason: The True Story of a Shocking Double Murder, a Brilliant, Beautiful Virginia Socialite, and a Deadly Psychotic Obsession

Written by Ken Englade

Narrated by Perry Daniels

The Woman: She was a beautiful, gifted descendant of Lady Astor. But Elizabeth Haysom was also a spoiled, willful daughter of privilege.

The Lover: He was the brilliant young son of a German diplomat. But his love for Elizabeth would draw Jens Soering into a web of madness and murder.

The Murder: When Elizabeth's parents were found savagely butchered in their elegant Virginia country home, she and Jens fled to Europe-igniting an international manhunt that spanned three continents.

The Trial: The sensational courtroom drama that followed painted a twisted portrait of two golden youths consumed by hatred and perverse fantasies. Elizabeth's startling testimony-and intimations of acts and desires that went beyond mere murder-would reveal a tangled web of dark secrets and deadly obsession.

Contains mature themes.

[Linda · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book kept my interest and a good read or " listening "

[Angela Montgomery · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Interesting,thought provoking account of a particularly heinous, on the surface, senseless crime.
Well researched and written, I admire the author’s dedication to the facts. I only wish there had been a more recent epilogue.
