Can you checkmate while in check?

Was reading a book, and in the book the characters were playing chess. Character #1 checks Character #2, then Character #2 checkmates Character #1. Wasn't sure if that was a legal move, but I think it is right?

This was an interesting puzzle I came across. If Qe5+,, then black can block with the bishop, discovering mate.

No, the bishop cannot block. It's slightly wrong
