I feel that one of Hilary Mantel's great strengths is the way that she develops and unfolds her characters through dialogue.Another read which is perfect for this 'season of mellow...' is The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.

Also her out-of-print mysteries under the name P.F. Chisholm featuring Elizabeth's nephew/cousin Robert Carey, related on both sides of family.
