YAWitch's Child series.
Because of her ability to turn almost invisible, thief Julia is sent by a mysterious employer to gather information from the wealthy Mrs. Och's house; posing as a housemaid, Julia learns that Mrs. Och is defying the fervidly anti-magic government. This is a tricky, frightening, relentlessly exciting adventure colored with moral ambiguity and magical intrigue. Plenty of questions are left open for further installments.
