Those Ties That Bind by Kim Janine Ligon

 About the Book: Something is seriously wrong at the Garland Regional Hospital when, instead of delivering healthy babies for adoption at The Obstetrical Center, teenage mothers are admitted to the ER, close to death and beyond resuscitation. 

          Hospital CEO Evelyn Langford's efforts to investigate the problem are hampered by her complicated relationship with her secretive brother, Frank, a few of her hospital subordinates, and, surprisingly, FBI Special Agent Rance Thompson. A new acquaintance whom she met while on vacation, he has come to town to investigate potential links between the perinatal deaths and a string of missing teenage girls.

          Frank’s increasingly erratic behavior, along with the growing attraction between Evelyn and the younger agent, only complicate the search into reasons behind the deaths of too many young women—and time is running out for other ‘clients’ still living at The Center.

Our Review: Pregnant or newly delivered teens are dying at an adoption mill known as The Center. Facts surrounding the teens and their care are few as well as murky. So starts an adventure into human trafficking, illicit baby selling and medical malpractice which borders on homicide.

          Flavor all that with a late in life romance between a plucky hospital CEO and an FBI secret agent man and you’ve got yourself with a winner of a story.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, Those Ties That Bind merits a 4.5.
