Sweet deal: Undercover Bundle

$2.99US for:

  • The Sexy Brutale
  • The Invisibel Hours
  • Beholder
  • The Last Door
  • The Last Door Season 2
  • Cognition
  • Bohemian Killing
  • Alicia Griffith: Lakeside Murder
  • Hot Tin Roof
  • The Detail

Pretty decent deal and the price is probably worth The Sexy Brutale alone, never mind the rest.
